Book Description
Excerpt from The Bivouac or Martial Lyrist: Containing Songs, Epigrams, and Poems IN the Songs of Me. Camp and barrack-room now incor porated in this volume, the author purposely abstained from introducing anything of a party or political nature, deeming it to be thetsoldier's duty to eschew politics altogether. Nor did he touch on the wrongs, real or supposed, of the soldier, or on the revilings of many of our orators, pam phleteers, and military and other writers in magazines, in their persistent cry for a better class of men. His humble endeavour and cherished ambition being to confirm the soldier in his loyalty to his Queen, his Country, and his Corps; to enhance his courage and historic pride; to ele vate him in his own estimation and in that of his country 3 to teach him to value his medal as a prize priceless beyond all other, and, by contrast, to lightly esteem the good-con duct badge, which the vilest man does, and the cowardly soldier might, wear 5 also to awaken in our youth a love for those perils and adventures which pertain to a soldier's life.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1878 edition. Excerpt: ... And selfishly pay their "devotion!" O, devotion is rare when life's in the "dare"--So rare, that to wealth 'tis a fiction; But the red and the blue to their salt are so true, They give to the lie contradiction. Their duty to them is their all; No question is ask'd when commanded; In trench, on the deck, it is little they reck, Though foemen come on double-handed. O, duty's so rare when life's in the "dare"--So rare, that to wealth 'tis a fiction; But the red and the blue to their salt are so true, They give to the lie contradiction. TO-MORROW. RECITATIVE. Go to! to-morrow? 'tis the bane of life; To-morrow cheats the soldier of the strife; Win fame to-morrow?--rather grasp it now; Who hugs to-morrow fears to meet the foe. Fight them to-morrow, with three hours of sun! To-morrow never yet the battle won: To-morrow fight! the soldier's time is now; He knows no morrow when he sees the foe. THROW WIDE THE GATE. Air--"The Red Cross Knight." Throw wide the gate, the table spread, For our hardy soldiers come; They have fought and bled in a foreign land, That we may have peace at home. Then give the best of British cheer, For victory's flag waves high; And we will sing and the bells shall ring, And the feast eat merrily. Let every sire and son attend Who's proud of a Briton's name; For our soldiers stand first on history's page, Time cannot dim their fame. Then give the best of British cheer, For victory's flag waves high; And we will sing and the bells shall ring, And the feast eat merrily. And come, ye fair ones, grace the dance; For the hand you then will take Has grappled with the foe on the battle-plain, For yours and your country's sake. And give, O give your sweetest smile, 'Twill make their hearts...
