THE VICTORY.

[For J.B., with the author's affectionate pride.]

HINDENBURG TO MACKENSEN.

Dear MAC, in that prodigious thrust

In which your valiant legions vie

With HANNIBAL'S renown, I trust

You go a shade more strong than I;

Lately I've lost a lot of scalps,

Which is a dem'd unpleasant thing;
