Whoneverlost,areunprepared

Who never lost, are unprepared

A Coronet to find!

Who never thirsted

Flagons, and Cooling Tamarind!

Who never climbed the weary league --

Can such a foot explore

The purple territories

On Pizarros shore?

How many Legions overcome --

The Emperor will say?

How many Colors taken

On Revolution Day?

How many Bullets bearest?

Hast Thou the Royal scar?

Angels! Write Promoted

On this Soldiers brow!
