“Brave man, thy deeds shall fill the tramp of fame,
And wake responsive echoes far and wide,
And on contemners of thy race east shame;
For thou hast nobly with the noblest vied.
Thy deeds recall the charge at Balaklava,
Wherein six hundred were immortalized:
Not any hero of that charge was braver;
And thy great valor shall be recognized.
No wolf, pursued by hounds o’er hill and plain,
At last more savagely stands up at bay,
