PERSIA. - ZaunköniG - 18.12.2012 Th' invader oft has trampled on a clime, As on glorious freedom worship'd there With the devotion earnest and sublime Of pilgrims, who to honour'd shrines repair, But never was it welcom'd by the call Of right and stern necessity, than when The phalanx'd strength of Macedon crush'd all The might of haughty Persia, and men Requited the oppression of long years, Engrafting on the barbarian stock, All civilization accustom'd rears, But here experience would its pow'r mock For still each original trait it wears, Impervious to advancement as the blacken'd rock. |
