Ode to Napoleon Bonaparte

XVII

There was a day -- there was an hour,
While earth was Gaul`s -- Gaul thine --
When that immeasurable power
Unsated to resign
Had been an act of purer fame
Than gathers round Marengo`s name,
And gilded thy decline,
Through the long twilight of all time,
Despite some passing clouds of crime.
