Pan from his Marathonian cave Sent screams of midnight terror, And darkling horror curled the wave On the broad sea's moonlit mirror.
Woe, Persia, woe ! thou liest low, low !
Let the golden palaces groan ! Ye mothers weep for sons that shall sleep In gore on Marathon !
JOHN STUART BLACKIE 219 II Where Indus and Hydaspes roll, Where treeless deserts glow, Where Scythians roam beneath the pole, O'er fields of hardened snow, The great Darius rules ; and now, Thou little Greece, to thee He comes ; ...thou thin-soiled Athens, how Shalt thou dare to be free ?
There is a God that wields the rod Above : by Him alone The Greek shall be free, when the Mede shall flee In shame from Marathon.
Ill He comes ; and o'er the bright ^Egean, Where his masted army came. The subject-isles uplift the paean Of glory to his name. Strong Naxos, strong Eretria yield ; His captains near the shore Of Marathon's fair and fateful field, Where a tyrant marched before.
And a traitor guide, the sea beside, Now marks the land for his own, Where the marshes red shall soon be the bed Of the Mede in Marathon.
