_LOVE AND GLORY_

Young Henry was as brave a youth

As ever graced a gallant story;

And Jane was fair as lovely truth,

She sigh'd for Love, and he for Glory!

With her his faith he meant to plight,

And told her many a gallant story;

Till war, their coming joys to blight,

Call'd him away from Love to Glory!

Young Henry met the foe with pride;

Jane followed, fought! ah, hapless story!

In man's attire, by Henry's side,

She died for Love, and he for Glory.
