> Was there only ever one verse?

    The poem had several verses, as printed in newspapers
and
broadsides within days after the general's death.  At least
one
source (S.G. Goodrich) says the text was by Timothy Dwight.
I have published additional verses in the complete works
of Stephen Jenks, and also in my online text anthology:
