Ode to Napoleon Bonaparte

IV

The triumph and the vanity,
The rapture of the strife --
The earthquake voice of Victory,
To thee the breath of life;
The sword, the sceptre, and that sway
Which man seem`d made but to obey,
Wherewith renown was rife --
All quell`d! -- Dark Spirit! what must be
The madness of thy memory!
