 Upon 8 foreign field. No craven strain shall mar the

 Reared proudly in the East and

 CoIunlbia's braves, at her behest, The glorious colors wed. They go the rights of man to save From tyrants warning to enslave; For better far a soldiers grave Than life with honor dead. Though rihed tubes and shotted

 The sanguinary fight foretells, Yet every heart with courage Impatient for the fray. Prepared, to serve the nations need
 To curb the Teuton's savage greed And controvert his pagan creed, Where might holds brutal sway.
