'Expends Annibalem quot libras in duce summo	A
Invenies JUVENAL Sat X	B
	-
I	-
Tis done but yesterday a King	C
And arm'd with Kings to strive	D
And now thou art a nameless thing	C
So abject yet alive	D
Is this the man of thousand thrones	B
Who strew'd our earth with hostile bones	B
And can he thus survive	D
Since he miscall'd the Morning Star	E
Nor man nor fiend bath fallen so far	E
	-
II	-
Ill minded man why scourge thy kind	F
Who bow'd so low the knee	G
By gazing on thyself grown blind	F
Thou taught'st the rest to see	G
With might unquestion'd power to save	H
Thine only gift hath been the grave	H
To those that worshipp'd thee	G
Nor till thy fall could mortals guess	B
Ambition's less than littleness	B
	-
III	-
Thanks for that lesson It will teach	I
To after warriors more	J
Than high Philosophy can preach	I
And vainly preach 'd before	J
That spell upon the minds of men	K
Breaks never to unite again	K
That led them to adore	J
Those Pagod things of sabre sway	L
With fronts of brass and feet of clay	L
	-
IV	H
The triumph and the vanity	G
The rapture of the strife	H
The earthquake voice of Victory	G
To thee the breath of life	H
The sword the sceptre and that sway	L
Which man seem'd made but to obey	L
Wherewith renown was rife	H
All quell'd Dark Spirit what must be	G
The madness of thy memory	G
	-
V	G
The Desolator desolate	M
The Victor overthrown	N
The Arbiter of others' fate	O
A Suppliant for his own	N
Is it some yet imperial hope	P
That with such change can calmly cope	P
Or dread of death alone	N
To die a prince or live a slave	H
Thy choice is most ignobly brave	H
	-
VI	H
He who of old would rend the oak	Q
Dream'd not of the rebound	R
Chain'd by the trunk he vainly broke	Q
Alone how look'd he round	R
Thou in the sternness of thy strength	S
An equal deed halt done at length	S
And darker fate hast found	R
He fell the forest prowlers' prey	L
But thou must eat thy heart away	L
	-
VII	H
The Roman when his burning heart	T
Was slaked with blood of Rome	A
Threw down the dagger dared depart	T
In savage grandeur home	A
He dared depart in utter scorn	U
Of men that such a yoke had borne	U
Yet left him such a doom	A
His only glory was that hour	V
Of self upheld abandon'd power	V
	-
VIII	H
The Spaniard when the lust of sway	L
Had lost its quickening spell	W
Cast crowns for rosaries away	L
An empire for a cell	W
A strict accountant of his beads	B
A subtle disputant on creeds	B
His dotage trifled well	W
Yet better had he neither known	N
A bigot's shrine nor despot's throne	N
	-
IX	B
But thou from thy reluctant hand	X
The thunderbolt is wrung	Y
Too late thou leav'st the high command	X
To which thy weakness clung	Y
All Evil Spirit as thou art	T
It is enough to grieve the heart	T
To see thine own unstrung	Y
To think that God's fair world hath been	Z
The footstool of a thing so mean	A2
	-
X	B
And Earth hath spilt her blood for him	A
Who thus can hoard his own	N
And Monarchs bow'd the trembling limb	A
And thank'd him for a throne	N
Fair Freedom we may hold thee dear	B2
When thus thy mightiest foes their fear	B2
In humblest guise have shown	N
Oh ne'er may tyrant leave behind	F
A brighter name to lure mankind	F
	-
XI	B
Thine evil deeds are writ in gore	J
Nor written thus in vain	C2
Thy triumphs tell of fame no more	J
Or deepen every stain	C2
If thou hadst died as honour dies	B
Some new Napoleon might arise	B
To shame the world again	K
But who would soar the solar height	D2
To set in such a starless night	D2
	-
XII	B
Weigh'd in the balance hero dust	E2
Is vile as vulgar clay	L
Thy scales Mortality are just	E2
To all that pass away	L
But yet methought the living great	O
Some higher sparks should animate	M
To dazzle and dismay	L
Nor deem'd Contempt could thus make mirth	F2
Of these the Conquerors of the earth	F2
	-
XIII	B
And she proud Austria's mournful flower	V
Thy still imperial bride	G2
How bears her breast the torturing hour	V
Still clings she to thy side	G2
Must she too bend must she too share	H2
Thy late repentance long despair	H2
Thou throneless Homicide	G2
If still she loves thee hoard that gem	A
'Tisworth thy vanish'd diadem	A
	-
XIV	H
Then haste thee to thy sullen Isle	I2
And gaze upon the sea	B
That element may meet thy smile	I2
It ne'er was ruled by thee	B
Or trace with thine all idle hand	X
In loitering mood upon the sand	X
That Earth is now as free	B
That Corinth's pedagogue hath now	J2
Transferr'd his by word to thy brow	J2
	-
XV	H
Thou Timour in his captive's cage	K2
What thoughts will there be thine	L2
While brooding in thy prison'd rage	K2
But one 'The world was mine '	-
Unless like he of Babylon	M2
All sense is with thy sceptre gone	N2
Life will not long confine	L2
That spirit pour'd so widely forth	O2
So long obey'd so little worth	F2
	-
XVI	H
Or like the thief of fire from heaven	P2
Wilt thou withstand the shock	Y
And share with him the unforgiven	P2
His vulture and his rock	Y
Foredoom'd by God by man accurst	X
And that last act though not thy worst	X
The very Fiend's arch mock	Y
He in his fall preserved his pride	X
And if a mortal had as proudly died	X
	-
XVII	H
There was a day there was an hour	V
While earth was Gaul's Gaul thine	L2
When that immeasurable power	V
Unsated to resign	L2
Had been an act of purer fame	A
Than gathers round Marengo's name	A
And gilded thy decline	L2
Through the long twilight of all time	A
Despite some passing clouds of crime	A
	-
XVIII	H
But thou forsooth must be a king	Y
And don the purple vest	X
As f that foolish robe could wring	Y
Remembrance from thy breast	X
Where is that faded garment where	H2
The gewgaws thou Overt fond to wear	H2
The star the string the crest	X
Vain froward child of empire say	B
Are all thy playthings snatched away	B
	-
XIX	B
Where may the wearied eye repose	B
When gazing on the Great	X
Where neither guilty glory glows	B
Nor despicable state	X
Yes one the first the last the best	X
The Cincinnatus of the West	X
Whom envy dared not hate	X
Bequeath'd the name of Washington	P2
To make man blush there was but one	P2
