Duponts Round Fight (November, 1861)

In time and measure perfect moves 
All Art whose aim is sure; 
Evolving rhyme and stars divine 
Have rules, and they endure. 

Nor less the Fleet that warred for Right, 
And, warring so, prevailed, 
In geometric beauty curved, 
And in an orbit sailed. 

The rebel at Port Royal felt 
The Unity overawe, 
And rued the spell. A type was here, 
And victory of LAW.
