Stran 5240 - To the brave all homage render, Weep, ye skies of June ! With a radiance pure and tender, Shine, oh saddened moon ! " Dead upon the field of glory," Hero fit for song and story, Lies our bold dragoon.
Stran 5208 - First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen," was originally used in the resolutions presented to Congress on the death of Washington, December, 1799.
Stran 5592 - A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side.
