Σελίδα 223 - By the struggling moonbeam's misty light, And the lantern dimly burning. No useless coffin enclosed his breast, Nor in sheet nor in shroud we wound him ; But he lay like a warrior taking his rest, With his martial cloak around him.
Σελίδα 337 - The powers consequently declare, That Napoleon Buonaparte has placed himself without the pale of civil and social relations ; and that, as an enemy and disturber of the tranquillity of the world, he has rendered himself liable to public vengeance.
Σελίδα 325 - I might, with my soldiers, have maintained a civil war for years — but it would have rendered France unhappy. Be faithful to the new sovereign whom your country has chosen.
Σελίδα 381 - Farewell to thee, France ! — but when Liberty rallies Once more in thy regions, remember me then. The violet still grows in the depth of thy valleys ; Though wither'd, thy tear will unfold it again. Yet, yet, I may baffle the hosts that surround us, And yet may thy heart leap awake to my voice — There are links which must break in the chain that has bound us, Then turn thee and call on the Chief of thy choice !

Σελίδα 381 - I have warr'd with a world which vanquish'd me only When the meteor of Conquest allured me too far ; I have coped with the nations which dread me thus lonely, The last single Captive to millions in war ! Farewell to thee, France ! — when...
Σελίδα 378 - why should I not have gone to my father-in-law, or to the Emperor Alexander, who is my personal friend ? We have become enemies, because he wanted to annex Poland to his dominions, and my popularity among the Poles was in his way.
