    “Apples? New Hampshire has them, but unsprayed,
    With no suspicion in stem end or blossom end
    Of vitriol or arsenate of lead,

    “Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
    Eagle with crest of red and gold,

    Make plain to them the excellence of killing
    And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
