DESIGNED. - ZaunköniG - 20.12.2012 Requital to evil possession 's seen, Varied records will this elucidate, See it in usurpation's thorny state, All that with blood-acquired gold has been ; Nations when dazzled by the conqu'ror's sheen Enfeebled, lost the stamina that gave Vict'ry o'er inadequacy ; between The ris'n billows depression's space will lave. The spoil that marks ingloriousness, worn When time has render'd its memory old Will, as the attestation does behold, Be oft ruthlessly from its possessor torn, Like him who deck'd with Pallas' belt, betray'd To direful rifling, and the life-sundering blade. |
