All others come in later ;—Hers first it is to front the mob, The tyrant, and the traitor. God bless, God bless this glorious State ! Let her have her way in battle !She 11 go where batteries crash with fate Or where thick rifles her the Light and let her try, And then who can may press her ;She 11 go straight on or she will die ; God bless her, and God bless her !
