Ode to Napoleon Bonaparte

XV

Thou Timour! in his captive`s cage
What thought will there be thine,
While brooding in thy prison`d rage?
But one -- "The word was mine!"
Unless, like he of Babylon,
All sense is with thy sceptre gone,
Life will not long confine
That spirit pour`d so widely forth--
So long obey`d -- so little worth!
