And gains Kalouga's heights, and Toula's meads. There halt the legions, undisturbed by foes. And safe in cantonments enjoy repose. Here prince Bagration finds the wished relief, A death of glory, and an end of grief. But ere the prime of warriors closed in death His eye coruscant, and resigned his breath. With momentary energy inspired. And, as from Heaven with zeal prophetic fired. 7^ While in his cheek seraphic ardor burned. And tow'rds the blazing east his eye he turned. Where Moscow's huge ...volcano scattered round Large flakes of fire, and spread with sparks the ground; " Farewell ! proud city ! thou and I have seen ** A happier day, (he cries, ) and tee have been. " Now sink we both : Napoleon sees us fail ; * And savage exultation swells the Gaul. " Yet shall his short-lived triumph cost him dear; " And now, even now, is retribution near. " Soon shall the freezing tempests, issuing forth ** To aid the hardy legions of the north, ** With ruin irretrievable assail " His squadrons, overwhelmed with winter's hail.
