He bowed him At Ambition's shrine, And drained the cup Bhe gave, 'Till druken with the ruby wine, He lived her ?bjeot slave. He followed where her phantom light Lured on, to endless flame, ( r Spread consternation dark as night And wen a deathless name. She led to Lodi's brilliant field, , At the Pyramids crowned with bays, At Venice brightened sword and shield, And low Aboukin's Sultan lays. Marengo, Jena, Linden, all Were steps in his upward flight, ( Nations and kings he held in thrall, 1 Nor trembled at the dissy height. i Kingdoms and kings, he made at will, J Made them with the Frenchman's steel, ' Of adulation, drank his fill, I While he crushed with his iron heel. j But the Eagle had soared above his 8 heieht. t Falling, trailed his wings in the dost; t A lonely exile he took his flight, r And his bright sword oonsumed with . rust. t Moscow's ohilly snow-clad plain, 1 And Leipsio's direful fray, j Weeping tears of blood above the slain, Foretold this fearful day. Then, last of all, dread Waterloo, Where all save life was lost, * Liberty, friends, all save the few l Who shrank not from the frost: I But shared the exile's lonely home Far out in the tropic sea, 1 Where amid the wind and dashing feam 1 Death set the prisoner free. I At list a brief repose had found Ambition's storm tossed child, I Wrapped with his martial cloak around, I 'Neath willo vs on the rocky Isle. , Brief indeed the peaceful rest Of the victim of adverse fate, ' 'Till France moved his head upon her ' breast, j Repentant when too late.
