SAY, muse divine, can hostile scenes delight <br />The warrior's bosom in the fields of fight? <br />Lo! here the christian and the hero join <br />With mutual grace to form the man divine. <br />In H-----D see with pleasure and surprise, <br />Where valour kindles, and where virtue lies: <br />Go, hero brave, still grace the post of fame, <br />And add new glories to thine honour'd name, <br />Still to the field, and still to virtue true: <br />Britannia glories in no son like you.<br /><br />Phillis Wheatley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-captain-h-d-of-the-65th-regiment/
