‘They fought, like brave men, long and well, They piled that
ground with Moslem slain, They conquered—but Bozzaris fell,
Bleeding at every vein. His few surviving comrades saw His
smile when rang their loud hurrah, And the red field was won;
Then saw in death his eyelids close Calmly, as to a night’s
repose, Like flowers at set of sun.’—Halleck
