As rocks resist the billows round their shore;
Types of a race who shall to time unborn
Their country leave unconquered as of yore!
[71] The 42nd Regiment.
STANZAS
TO THE MEMORY OF THE SPANISH PATRIOTS LATEST KILLED IN RESISTING THE REGENCY AND THE DUKE OF ANGOULEME.
Brave men who at the Trocadero fell—
Beside your cannons conquered not, though slain,
There is a victory in dying well
