from the pride that stoops to the proud, The strength that is supple to serve the strong and free, The grace of the empty hands and promises loud: Sidney thirsting, a humbler need to slake, Nelson waiting his turn for the surgeon's hand, Lucas crushed with chains for a comrade's sake, Outram coveting right before command: These were paladins, these were Craven's peers, These with him shall be crowned in story and song, Crowned with the glitter of steel and the glimmer of tears, Princes of courtesy, merciful, proud, and strong. Namesakes Three ships in the Navy have been named for him. A portion of East 156th Street in The Bronx was once called Craven Street in his honor.
