Ship after ship in answer speak, And fall quick into line, sir. Now, up the stream ! The Hartford leads. Eight in the gates of hell, sir, She takes the flag! Oh! bravest deed, To break the accursed spell, sir, Of Treason and her vaunted skill ; And prodigies of might, And rebel hate, and desperate will, Prove futile 'gainst the right Up ! past the broken cable, up ! Abreast the rebel forts, "A broadside now 1 " cried Farragut, " Straight at their frowning ports. " Five hundred cannon, thunderin...g, Unto the fleet replied, sir, And shot and shell in torrents fling Still, safe the vessels ride, sir. Up ! 'mid the drifting fire boats, Where hot shot crashing falls Thro' wooden hulls, the fleet still floats One, 1 riddled quite with balls Drops out of line, and one 2 in flames, The flag ship runs aground, sir, Before a rebel ram ; 3 she backs, And fights, and comes off sound, sir. Five gunboats Captain Boggs 4 sent down Beneath the turbid water, 1 The Ithaca. 2 The Hartford. 3 The Manassas.
