Memories of Virginia


One head, one hand, trusted by all,
He won the fruits of victory.
The Captain-General Governor,
King of Dominion cavaliers,
Under the crown of James and Charles,
Elected by the pioneers.
He died a chieftain true to crown,
In sixteen hundred and sixty.
The Joshua of Jamestown coast,
The pioneer of victory.

Let us revere our "Ap Matthew,"
A British Chief of conquest sires.
"King Makers" of Gaul, Rome and Wales.
Since Charles Martel led pioneers.
