“Of all the gallant Frenchmen whose names and deeds endure

In old Acadian annals, the greatest was Latour.

* * * * *

He built a potent fortress beside that harbor deep,

Thro’ which the broad and strong St. John flows with a mighty sweep.

* * * * *

Strong were its earthen bastions, its palisades were tall,

Heavy and great the cannon that frowned above the wall;

And bold and true its soldiers, all men of fair Rochelle—

Stout Huguenots who knew no fear, but loved Latour full well.
