Read the following excerpt from rudyard kipling's "the white man's burden":
take up the white man's burden—
and reap his old reward:
the blame of those ye better,
the hate of those ye guard—
the cry of hosts ye humour
(ah, slowly! ) toward the light: —
"why brought he us from bondage,
our loved egyptian night? "
take up the white man's burden—
ye dare not stoop to less—
nor call too loud on freedom
to cloke your weariness;
by all ye cry or whisper,
by all ye leave or do,
the silent, sullen peoples
shall weigh your gods and you.
take up the white man's burden—
have done with childish days—
the lightly proferred laurel,
the easy, ungrudged praise.
comes now, to search your manhood
through all the years
cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
the judgment of your peers!
