Swinburne entitled, -'Astraea VictriX-" The
seventh stanza reads:
And now the quickening tide
That brings back power and pr1oe

Whose ensign Is Thy name
Bears down the recreant lie
That doomed Thy name to die.
Sons OF friends and foes,
Behold Thy the same
As when il stood in heaven, a sun
And Europe saw no glory left
In her sky, save one.
The ninth stanza is follows:
We loosed these knaves
Their scourge-tormented slaves;
We held the hand that fain
Had risen smite
The torturer fast
The tenth stanza reads:
All nnurderous fraud that turks
In hearts where Hell's craft works
Fought, craWled and slew in darkness .
And yet gave not back
What righteous doom would give.
The eleventh stanza follows:
No false white flag that fawns
On faith till murder dawns
Blood red from He'll
Black treason's heart of hate
Left Shames foul brand
Scared on an English hand
And yet pride Vouchsafes
Them grace too great.
For other pride to dream Of scorn
Strikes retribution silent
