From Brennus to the Bourbon, never, never Shall foreign standard to thy walls advance But Tiber shall become a mournful river.
Oh! when the strangers pass the Alps and Po,
, TX Crush them, ye rocks! floods, whelm them, and for ever! Why sleep the idle avalanches so,
To topple on the lonely pilgrim's head?
Why doth Eridanus but overflow
The peasant's harvest from his turbid bed?
Were not each barbarous horde a nobler prey? Over Cambyses' host the desert spread
Her sandy ocean, and the sea waves' sway Roll'd over Pharaoh and his thousands,-why, Mountains and waters, do ye not as they? And you, ye men! Romans, who dare not die, Sons of the conquerors who overthrew Those who overthrew proud Xerxes, where The dead whose tomb Oblivion never knew, Are the Alps weaker than Thermopyla? Their passes more alluring to the view Of an invader? is it they, or ye,
That to each host the mountain-gate unbar, And leave the march in peace, the passage free? Why, Nature's self detains the victor's car And makes your land impregnable, if earth Could be so; but alone she will not war, Yet aids the warrior worthy of his birth
In a soil where the mothers bring forth men: Not so with those whose souls are little worth; For them no fortress can avail,-the den... Of the poor reptile which preserves its sting Is more secure than walls of adamant, when The hearts of those within are quivering.
Are ye not brave? Yes, yet the Ausonian soil Hath hearts, and hands, and arms, and hosts to bring Against Oppression; but how vain the toil,
While still Division sows the seeds of woe And weakness, till the stranger reaps the spoil. Oh! my own beauteous land! so long laid low, So long the grave of thy own children's hopes, When there is but required a single blow To break the chain, yet yet the Avenger stops, And Doubt and Discord step 'twixt thine and thee, And join their strength to that which with thee copes;
What is there wanting then to set thee free,
And show thy beauty in its fullest light?
To make the Alps impassable; and we,
Her sons, may do this with one deed
