Too Much Dixie"-Grant and the Dying
sOIdier-CampaIgnIng with the Great
est General of Modern TImes-When
the Regiment Passed.

The captain of the Shannon sent word
INTO the town:
Was Lawrence there and would he
dare to sail his frigate down
And meet him at the harbor's mouth
and fight him gun to gun
For honor's sake. with pride at stake,
until the fight was won?
NOW, long the gallant Lawrence had
secured the bitter main;
With many scar and wound of war
his ship was home again;
His crew, relieved from service, were
scattered far and wide,
AND scarcely one, his duty done, had
fingered by his side.
But TO refuse the challenge? Could
he outlive the shame?
Brave men and true, but deadly few,
he gathered to his fame.
once more the great ship Chesapeake
prepared her for the fight
III bring the foe to town in tow" he
said, before tonight!'
High on the hills of bingham that
overlook the shore,
To watch the fray and hope and pray,
for they could do no more,
The children of the country watched
the children Of the sea
When the smoke drove hard to wind
ward and drifted back to lee.
How can lie fight" they whispered.

Though they be rare to do and dare,
yet what can brave men do?"
But when the Chesapeake came down.

Stilled was each fear, and cheer on

The captain OF the Shannon, he swore
both long and loud:
This victory, where'er 1t be, shall
make two nations proud!
Now onward to this victory or down.
ward to defeat!
A sailors life is sweet with strife, a
sailors death as sweet"
And as when lightnings rend the sky
and gloomy thunders roar.
And crashing surge plays devils dirge
upon the stricken shore,
With thunder and with sheets of flame
the two ships rang with shot,
And every gun burst forth a sun OF
iron crimson-hot.
And twice they lashed together and
twice they tore apart,
And iron balls burst wooden walls and
pierced each oaken heart.
Still from the hills of bingham, men
watched with hopes and fears,
While all the bay was torn that day
with shot that rained like tears.
The tall masts Of the Chesapeake went
groaning by the board;
The Shannon's spars were weak with
scars when Broke cast down his
sword
Now Woe" he cried, ito England, and
shame and woe to mer'
The smoke drove hard to windward
and drifted back to lee
Give them one breaking broadside
more" he cried, before we
strikew
But one grim ball that ruined all for
hope and home alike
Laid Lawrence low in glory, yet from
his pallid lip
Rang to the land his last command:
Boys, don't give up the ship!
The wounded wept like women when
they hauled her ensign down.
Mems cheeks were pale as with the
tale from bingham to the town
They hurried swift in silence, while
toward the eastern night
The victor bore away from shore and
vanished out of sight.
Hall to the great ship Chesapeake!
Hail to the hero brave
Who fought her fast. and loved her
last, and shared her sudden
grave!
And glory be to those that died, for all
eternity;
They lie apart at the mother-heart of
Gods eternal sea.
