> .. the quintessence of all the war-songs.. the sum and substance of all the appetencies, tendencies, and consequences of #MilitaryGlory:

> .. We made an expedition;
We met a host, and quelled it;
We forced a strong position.
And killed the men who held it..
> ..Fierce warriors rushed to meet us;
We met them, and o'erthrew them;
They struggled hard to beat us;
But we conquered them, and slew them.
