Or thrill'd the soul in Tasso's numbers high,
Those magic strains of love and chivalry :
If yet by classic streams ye fondly rove,
Haunting the myrtle vale, the laurel grove ;
Oh ! rouse once more the daring soul of song,
Seize with bold hand the harp, forgot so long,
And hail, with wonted pride, those works revered
Hallow'd by time, by absence more endear'd.
And breathe to Those the strain, whose
warrior-might
Each danger stemm'd, prevail'd in every fight;
Souls of unyielding power, to storms inured,
Sublimed by peril, and by toil matured.
Sing of that Leader, whose ascendant mind
Could rouse the slumbering spirit of mankind :
Whose banners track'd the vanquish'd Eagle's
flight
O'er many a plain, and dark siera's height :
W h o bade once more the wild, heroic lay,
Record the deeds of Roncesvalles' day;
Who, through each mountain-pass of rock and
snow,
An Alpine huntsman chased the fear-struck foe ;
Waved his proud standard to the balmy gales,
Rich Languedoc ! that fan thy glowing vales
And 'midst those scenes renew'd th' achieve'
ments high
Bequeath'd to fame by England's ancestry:
Yet, when the storm seem'd hush'd, the
conflict past,
One strife remain'd—the mightiest and the last!
