The Winds

VI

O ye wild winds! a mightier Power than yours

In chains upon the shore of Europe lies;

The sceptred throng whose fetters he endures

Watch his mute throes with terror in their eyes;

And armed warriors all around him stand,

And, as he struggles, tighten every band,

And lift the heavy spear, with threatening hand,

To pierce the victim, should he strive to rise.
