GEN. JORDAN, COMMANDING 1ST BRIG., 3D CAV. DIV., CAV. CORPS, M. D. M.
Bold Jordan, tho' subordinate,
Merits his boon, tho' not so great,
He was firm to his post;
'Mid battles teen, he braved the storm,
Resolv'd his duty to perform,
What ever ills they cost.

True, he was prosperous on his way,
The deeds of valor to display,
His soldiers to control;
He seemed regardless of the cloud,
Which teemed with rebel thunders loud,
Which did with vengeance roll.

And can we live him out,
Who helped the cursed foe to route,
And made him bend the knee;
He flourished in his martial cause,
And aided to confirm the laws,
To set Columbia free.

Hurrah for Jordan, give him praise,
Ye vassals bask beneath the blaze,
Of one who is your friend;
And others in the battle live,
Who fought and left you not to grieve,
To whom all knees should bend.
