The Dragons were held in reserve, and a
soon as the advance of the American line ha
uncovered the enemy's batteries, Gen. Taylo
told Capt. May that his time had come
here's the enemy's battery, sir-take it, nolen
polens -


''Thy time has come the boldest heart must


thrill


Al such a summons; for, hoWeer led on
BY dream Of fame, or hope of glory, still,
ETERNITY IN view. none but the sainted hero
Can look up and say, "Oh, God Thy will


be done"


And was il thus with thee, brave soldier, when


thy chief


Gave thee such mandate? Rest assured that


He,


The great Omnpotent, did grid thy armor on,
And weld thy spirit with such magnanimity |!


Advance and take the foe!"
Methinks see thee spurring on thy foaming


steed,


And with the electric fire caught from thy


master spirit,
He dashes on and with sagacious instinct


neighs victory.
Thy triumph won, methinks see thee thus,
leading the captive, and in thy hand
His sword, unsheathed against us.
Now advanced, thy country's chief to meet,
| see thee lay thy trophies at his feet.
His patriot bosom's pride glows warm and


wild,


Clasps thy brave hand, and calls thee Victory's


child.


Triumphant May
Thy time has come, For fame inheris thee,
And sheds halo round thy name today,
To light up history's page, with brief
But noble record Of thy bravery
Glory thou hast achieved The laurel wreath


is thine.


Wear It, young champion by thy sword twas


gained,
And ftted for thee by the hand of Time.
The evergreen is twined round thy brow
A vine of leaves which seasons cannot fade;
May its unvaried hues reflect, as now,
Upon thy future deeds, more glorious made.
All patriot hearts ask Heaven for thee one


boom


More glory swells the cry long live the bold


dragoon. M. A. b.
