Not illustrated. 1889 Excerpt: ...themes handled by you, Assume a charming air. Crossmichael has a decent pride In striving with the great, For war's grim terror we'll prepare, Whatever be our fate. Twice six we can bring to the field, And such a numerous band Is not amiss, as one might think, When great things are on hand.
