_Slip anchor, all! and at her, all!_ _Bear down with rushing beaks  and_ now! First the Monongahela struck  and reeled; The Lackawana's prow Next crashed  crashed, but not crashing; then The Admiral rammed, and rasping nigh Sloped in a broadside, which glanced by: The Monitors battered at her adamant den. SLIP ANCHOR ALL AND AT HER ALL BARE DOWN WITH RUSHING BEAKS AND NOW FIRST THE MANONGA HELA STRUCK AND REELED THE LACAWANA'S PROW NECKS CRASHED CRASHED BUT NOT CRASHING THEN THE ADMIRAL RAMMED AND RASPING NIGH SLOPED IN A BROADSIDE WHICH GLANCED BY THE MONITORS BATTERED AT HER ADAMANT DEN
irring 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. 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! So proved it with the rebel keels, The strong-holds past: assailed, they run; The Selma strikes, and the work is done: The dropping anchor the achievement seals. But no, she turns--the Tennessee! The solid Ram of iron and oak, Strong as Evil, and bold as Wrong, though lone-- A pestilence in her smoke. The flag-ship is her singled mark, The wooden Hartford. Let her come; She challenges the planet of Doom, And naught shall save her--not her iron bark.
