Charade No. 16.

Hath raised his eagles high,
The Carthaginian foeman
Right proudly to defy.
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.
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.’
‘Push on, my first,’ he cried,
‘And soon their whole shall tremble,
And crushed shall be their pride.’
