Arms And The Man. - "The Marquis."
The Brave young Marquis, second but to one For whom he felt the reverence of a son, Rides at the head of his division proud - A ray of Glory painted on the cloud! Mad Anthony is there, and Knox - but why Great names like battle flags attempt to fly? Who sings of skies lit up by Jove and Mars Thinks not to chant a catalogue of stars! I bow me low, and bowing low I pass Unnumbered heroes in unnumbered mass, While at their head in grave, and sober state, Rides one whom Time has found completely great Master of Fortune and the match of Fate! Then Tilghman mounted on these Plains of York Swift sped away as speeds the homing hawk, And soon 'twas his to wake that watchman's cry That woke all Nations and shall never die!
