  1. Poem about Thomas Darcy

    Share Share Post
    Our country lost a soldier,
    The poor man lost a friend
    Opressions grasp he loosened
    And he made the tyrant bend
    Until death's cruel mandale
    Obliged him to obey
    And caused him to surrender
    On the twenty fifth of May

    The loss of valiant Darcy
    For ever will bear in mind
    He was a man in action
    In mannor but a child
    By all he was respected
    Here's to his memory.
    And his name shall be recalled
    On the face of History.
    Not since the old Milesians
    Our country ne'er produced
    No nor in future ages
    A man of so much use.
    111
    For actions or inventions
    He exceeded them all in skill
    He knew the use of arms
