Excerpt: . . . and of Gaul; What seas of blood in warfare spilt, What hecatombs of heroes slain, What ruthless misery and guilt, What myriad battles, fought in vain. IV. O Italy! superbly fair! O matron, beautiful and chaste! To wanton with thy raven hair, And loose the girdle from thy waist, The kings and robbers of the world, Have fought and wrestled evermore, And only kissd thy lips impearld, To stain thy lovely breast with gore! v. With mangled limbs and bleeding head Chain-bound in many an iron coil, Death-smitten wert thou! but not dead--A prize for ruffians to despoil; Ruffians impervious to remorse, Enthralled and haunted by thy charms, Whod rather trample on thy corpse Than yield thee to anothers arms. VI. Brave Italy! thou couldst not die! Thy sons, beneath their tyrants yoke, Looked up to Gods benignant sky With faith that never failed--or broke; They revelled in the realms of thought, And dared oppression to subdue The love they felt, the truths they sought In Art and Science--old or new. VIL They raised in Dantes grasp sublime The blazing torch of epic song; Taught Tasso the heroic rhyme For after ages to prolong: Taught Michael Angelo to wield The magic brush that witchd mankind, And forced the marble block to yield The gods and goddesses of mind. VIII. They filled the world with fairer forms Than dull reality supplies, Except to those whom Fancy warms To gaze with sympathetic eyes; And gave to Europe, trodden low Beneath the heels of armed men, A light to lead it--and to show How it might rise to life again. IX. By Knowledge, Poetry and Art, And Union under wise control, In field and town and trading mart, To crush the despots of the soul, Wear them as waters wear the rocks When ocean tides their strength assail, And not by fitful. . .
