Terrible he rode alone,
With his yemen sword for aid;
Ornament it carried none
But the notches on the blade.

hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the

place when Asahel fell down and died stood still.

Back of each son is Washington,
And the old red, white and blue!

Held high our honour in your wounded hands,
Carried our honour safe with bleeding feet--
We have no glory great enough for you,
The very soul of Britain keeps your day.

lose arms and legs! It would at least be a change. I cannot
bear it longer! Now, I know what it is to have a visit from
one's old thoughts, with what they may bring with them! I have

drawers."

The king of France with twenty thousand men
Went up the hill, and then came down again:
The king of Spain with twenty thousand more
Climbed the same hill the French had climbed before.
