''t CdHHoh nrdZen lips ale cold,
No red shell blaz down the arr
And steei aud tower and temple old
AIe silent as despair
The Lombard Stands no more a, bay,
Rome'S flesh young life has bled in vain:
Dad IN the ghaSlly trench are hey

Now while the fratricides OF France
Are tGeading on the neck of Rome,

Thy mummcr's part was acted well,
W ME Rome, with steel aud fire begirt.
Before thy crusade iel
Her death groans answered 10 thy PRAYER:
,,, ny chant the drum and bugle call
my lights the burning Villas glare;
Thy beads, the shell and bali.
Let Austria clear the way with hands
Foul from Acona's cruel sack:
AM Naples, with his bastard hands

Rome's lips are dumb The orphans wall

Above the falthess Frenchman's hail.

No wreath OF gay Campagna's flowers

Stand where Romes blood was free,t shed
Mock Heaven with impious thanks, and call
Its curses on the paliot dead

Unnonored uncovered.
Yet, Scandal Of the World from thee
One needul truth mankind shall learn,
That kings and priests to Liberty
And God are false in turn.
