The Siege Of Belgrade

The Siege of Belgrade
2567

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,
