Conquering Your Enemy

I am about to make a request 
You might sooner turn down than test,
For all its promise of conquest 
Of the hard men, who us detest 
And of our doomed end turned a quest: 
To start laughing with them the Best,
Their stinking foams for our glad rest, 
Our way worming into each breast,
In farms helping them to fight pest,
From grabbing hands property wrest 
Each one of them: Most Honored Guest 
To be accordingly addressed...

You mark by words like on-shirt crest:
Watchers shall us praise from East and West
