Despis’d and thought extinguish’t quite,

His fierie vertue rouz’d
From under ashes into sudden flame,
And as an ev’ning Dragon came,”

Ready to pass to the American strand.”

Rifles grow sharper on the sight.
There is a rumble of autumnal marching,
From which no soft sleeve relieves us.
Fate is the present desperado.”
