— LUTHER AND FREUNDSBERG. 59 Let Pavia make a captive king, And Rome a captive Pope ; And cause his fame world-wide to ring, Beyond his utmost hope. — • " Good Monk ! thou goest now determined stand to make ; The Uke, nor I nor any valiant knight, In our most earnest, doubtful, desperate fight, Can ever, and have never made ! If but thine aims are true God will not thee forsake. Sure of thy course in His name, then, proceed, And trust in Him to succour in thy need, Nor be at all of man afraid !... " This well-timed welcome Luther's courage fired. The next few steps into the presence led ; — What at the Diet there at Worms transpired The whole world knows, no more need now be said. 6o LUTHER AND FREUNDSBERG. But George of Freundsberg little knew How much his words With the great grand result had there to do ; He little thought When he the victory wrought, When the Ticino whelm'd sad Pavia's beaten hordes, As his fierce charge Of German lanzknechts swept the bloody field, And chivalrous Francis forced to yield — Or when at large Through Rome's breach'd barricades, o'er the dying and the dead, With Charles of Bourbon he his stormers led — In those his hours of victory, Flush'd with success, he little, little dream'd, While the fierce light of battle gleam'd, And animation fired his eye.
