Steadying the Ship<br />

Conscious of a manifest destiny<br />

Tho barely yet a pawn of the great game<br />

The fledgeling eagle wings of liberty<br />

Spread oer the world & fan the flames of fame;<br />

But southern states<br />

Fat on their their slavish fee,<br />

Form band of vicious mates led by courageous Lee.<br />

Canto II<br />

The Franco‐Prussian War & the Age of Empires<br />

It was a very bitter war<br />

Where nobody was thinkin,ʹ<br />

But for the great conquistadour,<br />

Men voted for Abe Lincoln,<br />

Who won a country from the gore;<br />

All his folk were drinkinʹ<br />

Toasts of hope for the nation & her name,<br />

The Eagle spreads her wing oer the great game!<br />

America is set to go,<br />

Vast resources to spend,<br />

The Alamo quellʹd Mexico,<br />

With Canada her friend,<br />

The Old World now a no‐go zone, Westward her thoughts<br />

would wend.<br />

USA<br />

1865<br />

If I should die, think only this of me:<br />

That thereʹs some corner of a foreign field<br />

That is forever England<br />

Rupert Brooke
