Thy gallant sons, with sons of other lands,

Will cause the Pilot of the sacred bark

Take speedy flight, and steer into the dark.

The time will also come, when one may stand

And see the Spaniard brandishing his knife

Above the Roman neck, and stay his hand

At bidding of his chief, from taking life.

The great Albano[7] he, who gives command

To draw the Spanish army from the strife,

In numbers weak, and yet in courage strong,
