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

''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.
