What have they done ? where is it ? Out yonder. Guard the Redan !
Storm at the Water-gate ! storm at the Bailey-gate ! storm, and it ran 6S THE DEFENCE OF LUC KNOW.
Surging and swaying all round us,, as ocean on every side Plunges and heaves at a bank that is daily drown'd by the tide — So many thousands that if they be bold enough, who shall escape ? 40 Kill or be kill'd, live or die, they shall know we are soldiers and men !
Ready ! take aim at their leaders — their masses are gapp'd with our... grape — Backward they reel like the wave, like the wave flinging for- ward again.
Flying and foil'd at the last by the handful they could not subdue ; And ever upon the topmost roof our banner of England blew.
IV.
Handful of men as we were, we were English in heart and in limb.
Strong with the strength of the race to conimand, to obey, to endure.
Each of us fought as if hope for the garrison hung but on him ; Still — could we watch at all points ? we were every day fewer and fewer.
There was a whisper among us, but only a whisper that pass'd : 50 ' Children and wives — if the tigers leap into the fold un- awares — Every man die at his post ^ and the foe may outlive us at last — Better to fall by the hands that they love, than to fall into theirs !
