    • Excerptfrom "What a charming thing's a battle! / Trumpets sounding, drums a-beating, / Crack, crick, crack, the cannons rattle, / Every heart with joy elating. / With what pleasure are we spying, / From the front and from the rear, / Round us in the smoky air, / Heads and limbs and bullets flying! / Then the groans of soldiers dying, / Just like sparrows as it were:" to "Then to plunder: / Blood and thunder, / What a charming thing's a battle!"  (public domain)
