text_original: THE MARYLAND BATTALION [August 27, 1776] Spruce Macaronis, and pretty to see, Tidy and dapper and gallant were we; Blooded fine gentlemen, proper and tall, Bold in a fox hunt and gay at a ball; Prancing soldados, so martial and bluff, Billets for bullets, in scarlet and buff   But our cockades were clasped with a mother's low prayer.
