Citation | BNL.738.012 27 Jul-3 Aug 1738:11,12 (1793) Poltova, Nov. 2, 1738 [=1737] Next Sunday I am to march to winter quarters where I shall languish for the opening of the campaign, the very mention of which inspires me with the following lines: The arms, where trumpets sound and colours fly, And drums re-echoing rattle thro' the sky; None but the bastard soul can hear and stay: When honour calls and glory leads the way. . . .
