Question

how do i rewrite this poem using today's language...
Success is counted sweetest 
By those who ne'er succeed. 
To comprehend a nectar 
Requires sorest need. 
 
Not one of all the purple host 
Who took the flag to‐day 
Can tell the definition, 
So clear, of victory, 
 
As he, defeated, dying, 
On whose forbidden ear 
The distant strains of triumph 
Break, agonized and clear 
‐Emily wingspaninson
