Part One: Life XXXIV |
| WHO never lost, are unprepared | |
| A coronet to find; | |
| Who never thirsted, flagons | |
| And cooling tamarind. | |
| Who never climbed the weary league— | 5 |
| Can such a foot explore | |
| The purple territories | |
| On Pizarro’s shore? | |
| How many legions overcome? | |
| The emperor will say. | 10 |
| How many colors taken | |
| On Revolution Day? | |
| How many bullets bearest? | |
| The royal scar hast thou? | |
| Angels, write “Promoted” | 15 |
| On this soldier’s brow! |
