“When your brazen-bodied cannon spoke their wrath to those around,
And the trampling of your legions shook the awed and trembling ground.
“Where the waters of Kanawha rush to join a clearer tide,
I was there with stout old Cornstalk, when you broke our power and pride.
“With the Mingoes, under Girty, at Fort Henry I was one,
When your forty kept four hundred baffled there from sun to sun.
“By Tecumthe’s side I battled at the Thames the day he fell,
Where continual flash kept lighting forest, river, swamp, and dell.
“But I never knew a terror, and a fear I never felt,
Save that midnight when the woman so upon my comrades dealt.
