Rizal

                "On battlefields struggling in frenzy,
                Others have given their life blood,
                Freely, without hesitation.
                With not a regret in the giving;
                No matter what place, what condition.
                Mid cypress or laurel or lilies,
                Whether on scaffold, in open,
                Or combat or martyrdom cruel,
                It is the same to the hero
                Who dies for his home and his fireside."

From the poem written by Dr. Rizal in Fort Santiago chapel on the eve of his execution. (Lieut. E. H. Rubottom's translation.)
