Excerpt from Rhymes of the Routs, in Mexico, and Midsummer Day's Dream By santa anna led, of old renown. They came in pomp their colours gayly spread, Fife, drum, and trumpet playing thrilling tones, Lances and bayonets' bristling overhead, And huge artillery rumbling o'er the stones. Proudly they marshall'd in that lovely glen, And soon sent forth red battle's deadly ire, Where stood undaunted taylor. And his men, Who now, with loud huzzas, returned their fire. Sharp rang the ri¿e, and the ball sped fast, Lance cross'd with bayonet, and sword with sword, The wounded steeds, mad neighing, hurried past, As the loud cannon its dread thunder pour'd. From noon till eve fierce was the battle's shock, At night it ceased, the soldier, panting-warm. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
