“ Let him learn how weak is a tyrant’s might
Against liberty’s sword contending:
And find how Southern men can fight
Their freedom and land defending.
6.
Then on! then on! to the glorious strife
With your swords your country shielding;
And resign if it must be even life,
But die at last unyielding.
7.
Strike! for the sires who left you free,
Strike! for their sakes who bore you;
Strike! for your homes and liberty,
And the heaven you worship o’er you.
