The troop arranged for battleWithout my first would fly;And whether good or bad,Without it you would die.Go seek the earth and ocean,For smallest things you guess;Yes, bring the atom from the air,And still my second’s less.The traitor, when condemn’d to die,May calm his cares and pray;Yet when the axe sounds "dust to dust,"My whole he’s borne away.
