Siege of Corinth, The

IX

Sent by the state to guard the land,
(Which, wrested from the Moslem`s hand,
While Sobieski tamed his pride
By Buda`s wall and Danube`s side,
The chiefs of Venice wrung away
From Patra to Eubœa`s bay,)
Minotti held in Corinth`s towers
The Doge`s delegated powers,
While yet the pitying eye of Peace
Smiled o`er her long-forgotten Greece:
And ere that faithless truce was broke
Which freed her from the unchristian yoke,
With him his gentle daughter came;
Nor there, since Menelaus` dame
Forsook her lord and land, to prove
What woes await on lawless love,
Had fairer form adorn`d the shore
Than she, the matchless stranger, bore.
