How many Bullets bearest?
Who never climbed the weary league —
Who never lost, are unprepared
The Emperor will say?
Who never thirsted
Can such a foot explore
On Revolution Day?
A Coronet to find!
Angels! Write “Promoted”
On Pizarro’s shore?
On this Soldier’s brow!
How many Legions overcome —
The purple territories
Flagons, and Cooling Tamarind!
How many Colors taken
Hast Thou the Royal scar?
