Iberia Won; A poem descriptive of the Peninsular War / With impressions from recent visits to the battle-grounds, and copious historical and illustrative notes

by T. M. Hughes

Shamrock, rose, and thistle’s stem

Ne’er let men divide!

V.

Nor one the breach nor one the fierce assault;

Three several columns mount the broken wall;

’Mid deadliest havoc each is forced to halt,

And rush the living where their brothers fall,

Strewn on the crest of that Pyracmon tall;

While heaps of slain a slippery footing yield
