I SAW old General at bay;
(Old as he was, his grey eyes yet shone out in battle like stars
His small force was now completely hemm'd in, in his works;
He call'd for volunteers to run the enemy's linesa desperate
emergency;
I saw a hundred and more step forth from the ranksbut two or three
were selected;
I saw them receive their orders asidethey listen'd with carethe
adjutant was very grave;
I saw them depart with cheerfulness, freely risking their lives.
