No more the Red Cross in the West inflamed The valiant to the ancient enterprise — No more Jerusalem, all pale and maim'd, Bled, like its Lord, before the nation's eyes ! Godfrey and Richard in their armor slept. The sword of Tancred rusted, sheath'd in clay — Europe still wept, but for herself she wept. And her gi'ief wore not, in Time's course, away ! V. Rome trembled, like Jerusalem of old, The Tiber slu-ank at every eastern breeze ; None in all Christendom was found so bold To seek the Sult...an in his new- won seas; The Adriatic sky by day was dark, Italian galleys crept more close to shore; Venice, beneath the Lion of Saint Mai'k, Paid the Turk tribute, thankful 'twas not more ! VI. France gather'd in her limbs, like one benumb'd Beneath an icy and destructive sky, And once before the Crescent she succumb'd, And begg'd the peace she could not force or buy; POEMS ON GENERAL HISTOIIY. 3S5 Albion, as yet disjoiuted and unbound, Slumber'd securely in the watei-y West, One only champion Europe yet had found, One only arm to guard her naked breast.
