At Christmas play and make good cheer,
For Christmas comes but once a year.
Life is a jest, and all things show it;
I thought so once, but now I know it.
To be once in doubt
Is once to be resolv'd.
Such were the notes thy once lov'd poet sung,
Till death untimely stopp'd his tuneful tongue.
A man can die but once.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.
Once more upon the waters! yet once more!
And the waves bound beneath me as a steed
That knows his rider.
To be once in doubt
Is once to be resolv'd.
Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God's new Messiah offering each the bloom or blight,
Parts the goats upon the left hand, and the sheep upon the right;
And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light.
