But the in battle, firm and strong, Each arm is raisd in deadly strife, And thundring cannons mark, were long Each chieftain seeks the others life Yet, when the raging fight is oer, And mirth and gjee the banquet grace Their feuds rememberd are no more, And foes the conquering hero bless.

The chief, who vainly hopd to see The red-cross oer our banner flow Now, mid applauding shouts of joy, Drinks to the OKNxaous gallant If thus his enemies perceive And pay such tribute to his worth. What must his friends, his country feel, For whom, so gloriously, he fought. Grateful, thankful, hearts we bring, To thee our warm affections raise With ne accord, united, sing Our much lovd gallant Peart's praise.
