And, with Deckards long rifles surrounded,Then the British rose fast to the fray; And never with arms of more vigor Did their bayonets press through the strife, Where with every swift pull of the trigger,The sharp-shooters dashed out a life!

. The Library of historic characters and famous events of all nations. in his camp on the height. Grim dashed they away as they hunters to hem in the prey. 192 HISTORIC CHARACTERS AND FAMOUS EVENTS. And, with Deckards long rifles surrounded,Then the British rose fast to the fray; And never with arms of more vigor Did their bayonets press through the strife, Where with every swift pull of the trigger,The sharp-shooters dashed out a life! Twas the meeting of eagles and lions ; Twas the rushing of tempests and waves,Insolent triumph gainst patriot defiance, Born freemen gainst sycophant slaves;Scotch Ferguson sounding his whistle, As from danger to danger he flies,Feels the moral that lies in Scotch thistle, With its touch me who dare and he dies! An hour, and the battle is over; The eagles are rending their prey;The serpents seek flight into cover, But the terror still stands in the way:More dreadful the doom that on treason Avenges the wrong of the state;And the oak tree for many a season Bears fruit for the vultures of fate!
