Triumphant

---

Who never lost, are unprepared

A coronet to find;

Who never thirsted, flagons

And cooling tamarind.

---

Who never climbed the weary league —

Can such a foot explore

The purple territories

On Pizarro’s shore?

---

How many legions overcome?

The emperor will say.

How many colors taken

On Revolution Day?

---

How many bullets bearest?

The royal scar hast thou?

Angels, write “Promoted”

On this soldier’s brow!
