To Napoleon Bonaparte

TO NAPOLEON BONAPARTE |

Great one, whose sun at Ansterlitz arose And at Saint Helena bade thee adieu, [

The "Man of Destiny" in Freedom's pose, The modern Sphynx who lost at Waterloo, |

| Dost see, Napoleon, this lust of power [

As with the Conquerors in other dawns? The streams of blood that flow this troubled hour, |

! Man in the "Game of War" the living pawns? I Yea, kings and nations look on changing fates, I Tossed is the ball of conquest to and fro I Dim chaos reigns amidst a crash of states, I And round the earth is felt the awful throe ! Vast Captain, England, who did exile thee, |

! Clasps hands with France that all mankind are free ! |

1 Alfred Lambourne |
