  • The Son of God goes forth to war,
      A kingly crown to gain:
    His blood-red banner streams afar!
      Who follows in his train?
    • Reginald Heber, "St. Stephen's Day", st. 1, Hymns (1827)
    • Adapted by Rudyard Kipling, The Man Who Would be King (1888):
      The Son of Man goes forth to war,
        A golden crown to gain;
      His blood-red banner streams afar—
        Who follows in his train?
