The all-victorious Roman
From Charades and Enigmas
Arts & Sciences
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.'
