Love and Glory.

YOUNG Henry was as brave a youth
As ever grac'd a martial story;
And Jane was fair as lovely truth:
She sigh'd for love, and he for glory.

With her his faith he meant to plight,
And told her many a gallant story;
Till war, their honest joys to blight,
Call'd him away from love to glory.

Brave Henry met the foe with pride;
Jane follow'd, fought—ah! hapless story!
In man's attire, by Henry's side,
She died for love, and he for glory.
