All met for deeds of derring-do;
Gillespie, Douglas (Oh, that shame
Should fall on that time-honoured name!),
Dun-Edin’s chivalry.
To arms! to arms! the foe is nigh,
“Five hundred specials” do or die!
Admiring Europe’s eyes are cast
On Scotia’s greatest fight, and last,
O’er her Infirmary!
Press on! press on! Immortal gods!
