. The Rough and ready annual;. the welkin ring! 54 COLONEL MAY. Nor, though even now we falter With thoughts of those who died,And at our festive altar, Grow silent in our in the hearts most holy deep, Fond memory shrine the happy brave,Who in the arms of battle sleep By Palos wood and Bravos wave;Nor in our future deeds forgot, Shall silent thought forbear to bring,Her tribute to that sacred spot, Where Ringgolds gallant soul took wing. Fill to our countrys glory Whereer her flag is borne ;Nor, in her failing story, Let future ages mourn !Nor let the envious foreign foe. Rejoice that faction checks her speed,Arrests her in the indignant blow, And saddens oer the avenging deed !Fill high, though from the crystal wave, Your cup, and from the grape be mine ;The man-iage rites, that link the brave To fame, will tiu*n each draft to wine.
