Their forces, he told us, were met on the way, By a squadron of native dragoons, Who, well mounted on chargers both prancing and gay, Were advancing in gallant platoons.
A little brass cannon much glory did gain As it mowed down the ranks of their foe ; And forced it to turn and fall back on the pla...in Far away from disaster and woe.
CALIFORNIA. 1 1 7 The gist of the tale is, when the Yankees retired, In disordered retreat from the field ; The natives down-hearted, their last shot had fired, And were only just ready to yield.
The story so given, spread laughter around, As the gent it with mirth did unfold ; And we thought, if twere truthful, it certainly crown d All the feats of the war that are told.
