Herman Melville - Dupont’s Round Fight (November, 1861)

In time and measure perfect moves br All Art whose aim is sure; br Evolving rhyme and stars divine br Have rules, and they endure. br br Nor less the Fleet that warred for Right, br And, warring so, prevailed, br In geometric beauty curved, br And in an orbit sailed. br br The rebel at Port Royal felt br The Unity overawe, br And rued the spell. A type was here, br And victory of LAW.
