“Stand up, my heart; be strong; what matter

If here thou seest thy welded tomb?

And let huge Og with thunders batter—

Duty be still my doom,

Though drowning come in liquid gloom;

First duty, duty next, and duty last;

Ay, Turret, rivet me here to duty fast!—”

So nerved, you fought wisely and well;

And live, twice live in life and story;

But over your Monitor dirges swell,
