Sivu 476 - Furl it, fold it—it is best; For there's not a man to wave it. And there's not a sword to save it, And there's not one left to lave it In the blood which heroes gave it, And its foes now scorn and brave it:
Sivu 208 - retreating troops ; What was done ? what to do ? a glance told him both. Then striking his spurs, with a terrible oath, He dashed down the line, 'mid a storm of huzzas, And the wave of
