THE VOLUNTEERS: A CHALLENGE by CHARLES MACKAY

First Line: COME IF YOU DARE, REIVERS AND RAIDERS!
Last Line: YES! EVERY ONE OF YOU, COME IF YOU DARE!
Subject(s): BULLETS; COURAGE; FIRE; GUNS; VALOR; BRAVERY;
COME if you dare, reivers and raiders!
Come if you dare, to our beautiful shore;
Come if you dare, saucy invaders!
Many or few, you'll return nevermore.
One purpose shall fire us, one thought shall inspire us,
Each bullet we drive shall be true to a hair,
We'll give the full strength of you
Graves the full length of you,
Yes! every one of you, @3Come if you dare@1!
