MEXICAN LAMENT.
Rio Bravol Rio Bravol
Saw men ever such a sight2
Since the field of Roncesyales
Sealed the fate of many a knight!
Dark is Palo Alto's story,
Sad Resacca Palma's route,
On those fatal fields so CORY,
Many gallant life went out.
There our best and bravest lancss,
Shvered 'gainst the Northern steel,
Left the valiant hearts that couched them
Meath the Northern chargers heel.

Since the field oil Roncesvailes
Sealed the fate of many knight

Saw We not while red with gore,
Torrelohn all headless culver,
A ghastly trunk upon thy shorel
Heard We not the wounded coursers
Shrieking on your trampled banks,
As the Northern wing'd artillery
Thundered on our shattered ranks7
There Arista, best and brayest.
There Raguena, tried and true,
On the fatal field that lavest.
Nobly did all men could do.
Vainly there those heroes rally,

Cleft his slayer to the brain.
Brave La Vega. who, all lonely.
BY host of foes beset,
Yielded up his sabre only
When his equal there he met
Other champions not less noted,
Sleep beneath that sullen wave;
Rio Bravo, thou hast foated
An army to an ocean grave.
On they came, those Northern horsemen.
On, like eagles toward the sun.
Followed then the Northern bayonet,
And the field was lost and won.

His Paladins on that sad shore.
