Charge, Warren, charge; yon battle Green,

Glitters afar with silvery sheen,

The lightning of the storm;

Where bands of braggarts bluff in mien,

With ragged Irishmen are seen,

Dreadful and drunken all, I ween,

A phalanx fierce to form:

Saint George! it was a gallant sight,

To ken beneath the morning light,

The shifting lines sweep by;
