Pagina 162 - Ye are the things that tower, that shine — whose smile Makes glad — whose frown is terrible — whose forms, Robed or unrobed, do all the impress wear Of awe divine ! Ye guards of liberty, I'm with you once again!
Pagina 196 - Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of hell Rode the six hundred.
