Misc References

i love it when i recognize a misc. reference as part of a film or tv show. last night i was watching star trek: DS9 and the crew on one of the ships started quoting poetry and another filled in a couple of lines. i remembered the lines and realized i haven't read "Charge of the Light Brigade" in quite a while, which is what they were reciting. sad, but good.
read it here.

tennyson? that actually sounds familar. one phrase that caught me was

Their's but to do and die:

was he the guy to come up wtih that or did he plagirize it form someone else?

I'm still unclear. I get the feeling they died (noble?) but my poetry is terrible.. so please do clarify. what happened?
