"La Marcha de Galvez"     

Julian Poydras, A Creole (A Spaniard born in America)
celebrated the "Marcha de Galvez" in grandiloquent verse:

The brave foot soldiers, they follow in column

Breathing fire, these men of Mars and Bellonne

March in good order, with sturdy certain step

Scorning the Danger, almost flying at the enemy.

Behind them you can see marching in the open

Our fierce settlers, the intrepid militia.
