Lament, lone mother, for his early fate, But, bear thy burden with a hope elate, For thou hast shrined thy jewels in the state,
A priceless boon! And thou, sad wife, thy sacred tears belong To the untarnished and immortal throng", For he shall fire the poet's heart and song",
In thrilling- strains. And the fair virgins of our sunny clime, Shall wed their music to the minstrel's rhyme, Making his fame melodious for all time;
It cannot die. |

Then broke each corps with terror riven, Then rushed the steeds from battle driven, For men of battery Number Seven Forsook their Red Artillery ! |
