And all had chosen Allen chief;
And “Forward!” call’d his voice.[7]
But one who heard his order, spurr’d
His charger from the rear,
And cried: “In me your leader see,[8]
For Cambridge sent me here.”
“And Cambridge, Cambridge, what would she?”
Cried Mott[3] and Phelps, “Nay, Nay!—
’Twas Hartford sent us forth, and we
Bade Allen lead the way.”
