AN INVOCATION FROM THE ARMY.

(From Punch.)

To AN ILLISTRIOUS FIELD-MARSHAL.
By the service thou halt seen ;
By each hoar that thou halt been
Under fire in trench or field,
By that sword which thou dolt wield
First in breach or upon wall ;
By thy daring actions all ;
By thy charges and attacks;
By the halts and bivouacks;
By the nights which thou has spent
In the cold sad dreary tent ;
By the hard and scanty fare
Thou has often bad to share ;
By the country thou hast saved ;
By the nations thou hast braved ;
By the Minis bolts of lead
Which have whistled past thy head;
By the countless cannon-shot,
Round, grape, canister, red-hot,
Near thee which have plough'd the ground ;
By the bombs that have burst round ;
By the rockets that have dropp'd
Right before thy feet—and popp'd ;
By each sabre, bay'net, lance,
Which thy breastplate hath made glanoe ;
By each gallant charger slain
en
ne s
wwhheine ht
htehyo uw
earme osnpgr,u ;
Under thee upon the plain ;
Oftng
13y
thhaes mines
By thine honourable scars ;
By thy wounds in all thy wars ;
By thy cut, and by thy thrust,
Which have caused to bite the dust
Many a hero, and to fall
Heads of legions—by them all ;
By the hazards thou hast run ;
By the battles thou haat won ;
By great armies forced to flee;
By great cities ta'en by thee;
By all thy strategic feats,
Bold advances, wise retreats ;
By thy sieges and campaigns;,
By thy captured ordnance-trains,
By thy boots, thy spurs, thy belt,
By the powder thou has smelt,
By the hat, frock, all the clothes
Which to thee the soldier owes,—
Rest thee, Albert, rest thee now,
With thy laurels on thy brow ;
Rest thee, warrior, let thy fame
Thou hast earn'd sufficil thy name ;
peace,
3I Rest,ed d
lainngd,wasitha onauarnAorfmy cease;
Martial business leave alone,
Be content to wind thine own.
