In order to avoid confusion, it might be a good idea to join up the references.  In the DT:

HERE'S TO THE LAST TO DIE  Text from the Scottish Students' Song Book, c. 1892: attributed to Captain Darling.

WE LOOP IN THE PURPLE TWILIGHT  With tune.

in the Forum:

THE REVEL  Text attributed to Bartholomew Dowling (with a note that it has also been credited to Alfred Dommett; Dommett himself, in a letter to Rossiter Johnson in 1879, specifically denied having written it); the same text posted by Walrus in this thread, though with some changes presumably made by an intermediate source.

Lyr Req: Here's To The Last One to Die  Inconclusive discussion.

It would seem reasonable to suppose that Bartholomew Dowling (1823-1863; at the time of his death he was editor of the San Francisco Monitor) and "Captain Darling" were the same person.
