CHARADE: 16, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The all-victorious roman
Last Line: And crushed shall be their pride.'
Subject(s): Ramparts


THE all-victorious Roman
Hath raised his eagles high,
The Carthaginian foeman
Right proudly to defy.

Forth marched in noble daring
The leader of the day,
A mighty second bearing
In all the stern affray.

Ye glorious ranks, assemble!
'Push on, my first,' he cried,
'And soon their whole shall tremble,
And crushed shall be their pride.'
