There was Jack Jargon, the gigantic guardsman;[691]And General Fireface,[692] famous in the field,

A great tactician, and no less a swordsman,

Who ate, last war, more Yankees than he killed.

There was the waggish Welsh Judge, Jefferies Hardsman,

In his grave office so completely skilled,

That when a culprit came for condemnation,

He had his Judge's joke for consolation.[693]
