A flowering time to guilt is given, And traitors have their glorying hour; O late, but sure, the righteous Paramount comes   Palsy is on their power! A FLOWERING TIME TO GUILT IS GIVEN AND TRAITORS HAVE THEIR GLORYING HOUR OH LATE BUT SURE THE RIGHTEOUS PARAMOUNT COMES PALSY IS ON THEIR POWER
 Back speak the ships when spoken to, And set their flags in concert true, And _On and in!_ is Farragut’s command. But what delays? ’mid wounds above Dim buoys give hint of death below-- Sea-ambuscades, where evil art had aped Hecla that hides in snow. The centre-van, entangled, trips; The starboard leader holds straight on: A cheer for the Tecumseh!--nay, Before their eyes the turreted ship goes down! The fire redoubles, While the fleet Hangs dubious--ere the horror ran-- The Admiral rushes to his rightful place-- Well met! apt hour and man!-- Closes with peril, takes the lead, His action is a stirring call; He strikes his great heart through them all, And is the genius of their daring deed. The forts are daunted, slack their fire, Confounded by the deadlier aim And rapid broadsides of the speeding fleet, And fierce denouncing flame. Yet shots from four dark hulls embayed Come raking through the loyal crews, Whom now each dying mate endues With his last look, anguished yet undismayed.
