xcvi THE PRIVATE OF THE BUFFS LAST night, among his fellow roughs, He jested, quaffed, and swore ; A drunken private of the Buffs, Who never looked before. To-day, beneath the foeman' s frown, He stands in Elgin's place, Ambassador from Britain's crown And type of all her race.
Poor, reckless, rude, low-born, untaught, Bewildered, and alone, A heart, with English instinct fraught, He yet can call his own.
DOYLE 241 Ay, tear his body limb from limb, Bring cord, or axe, or flame : He only knows, ...that not through him Shall England come to shame.
Far Kentish hop-fields round him seemed, Like dreams, to come and go ; Bright leagues of cherry-blossom gleamed, One sheet of living snow ; The smoke, above his father's door, In grey soft eddyings hung : Must he then watch it rise no more, Doomed by himself, so young ?
Yes, honour calls ! with strength like steel He put the vision by. Let dusky Indians whine and kneel ; An English lad must die. And thus, with eyes that would not shrink, With knee to man unbent, Unfaltering on its dreadful brink, To his red grave he went.
