O nations, listen all! Stormy winds, do not blow: my verse sings of Anna. Pindar, and after him Flaccus, have in high-flowing diction risen from the mist to the bright stars, like swift eagles. But if my song to-day were to equal my sincere and eternal zeal for Anna, Orpheus of Thrace and Amphion of Thebes would be in ecstasy from it. Now I strike the dulcet lyre to celebrate the magnificent victory to the greater downfall of the enemy. Oh, what victorious might has adorned our joy, for the mig...ht of the adversary was equal to ours. There is no limit to our pure joy that surpasses all example, that has given balm to our hearts. Has Nepttme himself built the walls, those that stand by the sea ? Do they not resemble the Trojan walls, for they Digitized by VjOOQ IC Va^li Kirlllovich Tredyak6vski 231 would not let in the innumerable Russian army, mightily- opposing it ? Do not all call the Vistula Skamander ? Do they not all regard Stoltzenberg as Mount Ida ? That is not Troy, the mother of fables: there is not one Achilles here; everyone of the rank and file is in bravery a Hercules.
