Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDCE FGGF HIHI| Eagle of Austerlitz where were thy wings | A |
| When far away upon a barbarous strand | B |
| In fight unequal by an obscure hand | B |
| Fell the last scion of thy brood of Kings | A |
| - | |
| Poor boy thou shalt not flaunt thy cloak of red | C |
| Or ride in state through Paris in the van | D |
| Of thy returning legions but instead | C |
| Thy mother France free and republican | E |
| - | |
| Shall on thy dead and crownless forehead place | F |
| The better laurels of a soldier's crown | G |
| That not dishonoured should thy soul go down | G |
| To tell the mighty Sire of thy race | F |
| - | |
| That France hath kissed the mouth of Liberty | H |
| And found it sweeter than his honied bees | I |
| And that the giant wave Democracy | H |
| Breaks on the shores where Kings lay couched at ease | I |
