The Siege of Belgrade.

The Siege of Belgrade.
256.7

An Austrian army, awfully arrayed,
Boldly, by batters, besleged Belgrade;
Cormack comunanders cannonading come
Dealing destructions devastating doom;
Every endeavor, engineers PRERY.
For fame, for fortune, fighting furious fray!
Generals ‘gainst generals grapple, grasping good,
How honors Heaven herole hardidood!
Infuriate, indiscriminate in ill.
Kindred kill kinsmen, kinsmen kindred jallt
Labor low levels loftiest, longest lines-
Men march ‘mid mounds, mid-moles, mid mur- derous minee:
Now noisy, noxious, noticed nought
Of outward obstacles opposing ought.
Poor patriots, partly purchased, partly pressed:
Quite quaking, quickly quarter, quarter quest,
Reason returns, religious right redounds,
Suwarrow stops such sanguinery sounds.
Truce to thee, Turkey, triumph to thy train! Unjust, unwise, unmerciful Ukraine!
Vanish vain victory, vanish victory vain!
Why wish we warfare? Wherefore welcome werd
Xerxes, Ximenes, Xanthus. Xaviere?
Yield ye youths! ye yeomen, yield your yell!
Zeno’s Zapater’s Zoronster’s zeal,
And all attracting, arms against acts appeal,
