Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”

Wear skins peeped through by bones and spectacles of steel
With mended glass, like bottle bits in slag.”
