IT IS THROUGH HONOR WE GAIN IMMORTALITY
————–
(roughly copied from song of roland, with obedience removed)
To at all times to speak the truth
To guard the honour of fellow men. (again, force the truth)
To fight for the welfare of all
Never to refuse a challenge from an equal
Never to turn the back upon a foe.
To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun
To refrain from the wanton giving of offence
To protect the weak and defenceless
To live to obtain honour and glory
