Thomas Campbell

“ Of blood-stained Pharaoh left their trembling coast,
Then bade the deep in wild commotion flow,
And heaved an ocean on their march below?
⁠Departed spirits of the mighty dead,
Ye that at Marathon and Leucra bled,
Friends of the world, restore your swords to man,
Fight in his sacred cause, and lead the van ”

“ Who rush to glory or the grave;
Wave, Munich, all thy banners wave,
And chargo with all thy chivalry!—
Few, few shall part where many meet,—
The snow shall be their winding-sheet
And every turf beneath their feet
Shall be a soldier's sepulchre.
