His death is thus recorded in the old ballad of Chevy Chase: “He had a bow bent in his hand, Made of a trusty tree; An arrow of a cloth-yeard long Unto the head drew he. “Against Sir Hugh Montgomerie So right his shaft he set, The grey goose wing that was therein In his heart-blood was set.” Footnote 18: This officer’s name is given as _Crawford_ on the memorial tablet at Waterloo. Footnote 19: The following _in memoriam_ verses were written soon after Waterloo. “Hail, youthful Ashton, in thy field of blood! Thou bloom of honour gathered in the bud! Thy prime career of martial life began With spirit fit to shine in glory’s van; Comrades who groan’d to see thee yield thy breath, Yet almost envied thy heroic death. Accept thy country’s praise! thy mother’s tears! Whose heavenly sorrow Heaven itself reveres! Kissing in agony affliction’s rod, She yields her pride unmurm’ring to her God.” Footnote 20: Promoted lt. and capt. 2nd July, 1815. Out of the list before 1824.
