Threats, tortures, blood, were all in vain,
For still they cried unmoved by pain,
“Delenda est Carthago.”
At Lexington and Bunker Hill,
Quebec, Long Island, Valley Forge,
They bravely bore the brunt and scourge,
Nor shrank beneath the ill;
Firm in the path of right they trod,
Nor vainly vowed to Freedom’s God,
“Delenda est Carthago.”
