What ! shall the eaglet stoop to swell their pride ? Nay, for the Eagle's wings are swift and wide. Yet must we pause ere from our lofty height We swoop destructive to the Austrian kite ; Still shall we spare if Austria will desist, With power to crush, we are still pacifist. 14 CASUS BELLI. But should our efforts unavailing prove, Our mediation fail thy foes to move, Oh ! then ev'n Russia's love of peace must yield, And Austria's doom by her own pride be sealed. Fear not, illustrious child ; f...rom the far quays Of frozen Baltic to the sunlit seas Where Danube pours her waves, our rule benign, Equal to all, by all beloved, doth shine ; From Poland, who would fain from power be free And bound once more to mediocrity, To where Siberia rapturously adores The friend who fashioned her unequalled laws. And thou too art our friend, our brother, child ; Although, alas ! beneath our sceptre mild Thou dost not our fraternal concord share ; Alas! for danger may not enter there. Yet still we love thee, though beyond our fold, And orgulous have been when we were told How gentle, wise, and beautiful had grown The lamb we mourned as strayed, the eaglet flown.
