other generations may learn to honor the
memory of those noble and brave men.
"Rest, emSalmed and sainted dead,
Dear as the blood ye gave,
No impious tootstep here shall tread
he herbage Of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record keeps,
Or honor points the hallowed spot
Where valor proudly sleeps" p.
