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.
