"The battle of Vittoria"
William Thomas Fitz Gerald
Strike, British Bards, the patriot lyre,
In notes sublime, and lines of fire,
To Wellington's Renown!
Bring all the Laurels that the wore
In twenty battles won before,
To form the
Victor,s crown!
When Wisdom had matur'd his plan,
He gave the word - the mach began-
And animating sight!
The Foe retir'd -then firmly slood,
Resolv'd, beyond the Ebro's flood,To try the dreadful fight!
Vittoria witness'd, near her wall,
The Briton's conflict with the Gaul,
The Tyrant of her Plain!
