Al Moino del Rey
Gereral Worth won the day,
Beating five times the strength of his forces,
Twas the bloodie,t fight.
By History SET right"
OF General Scott's intricate courses.
Out Of three thousand men,
More than eight hundred, then,
There sunk on the field stiff and CORY;
Of this sanguine ARRAY
General Scott brushed aoays
From Worth and his comrades the glory.
Of the engineer corps,
At the least, three or four,
Reconnoitered the strength of position
OF the enemy's works,
In that fortress of rocks,
And reported to Scott their condition.
Neither foundryt or mill
Was there found on that hill,
Nor mould or mqtsriel for blasting
No sign of church bell
Or of gun, shot, or SHE'LL
Which Scott fancied founders were casting.
Yet this fancfu dream,
And his weak self esteem
Was the cause of his final decision;
"That the work must he done,
And the fight lost or won
BY Worth and his veteran division"
And that heroic band
Made gallant and grand
Assault on the enemy's masses;
There his thousand they drove
From the heights to the grove
Whence the road to Chepultepec passes,
In this murderous fight
Ere the Mexican flight,
Worth's vet'ran brigade was half slaughtered;
OF the officers brave,
MANY sunk tn the grave,
Which the tears of their comrades have watered
Yet Scott damnd with faint praise,
The magnificent blaze
OF a sacrifice made to our morale;
And from that time henceorth,
He was jealous of Worth,
And affixed on that hero a quarrel.
Ia his guarded report,
tie most wisely has sought,
To pass hastily over this action -
For the "brushing away"
AT Molno del Rey,
@Truth Of History" condemns the Scott faction
If general, in war,
Wrong conc lusions should draw,
is he fit for much higher station1
With the army at haId,
And the naval command
As the president, chief of the nation
But II il is our lot,
To be conquered by Scott,
That general all feathers and fustian,-
twill soon seal his fate
He'll explode with Ne state. ..
And go off by spontaneous combustion.
