Whom he hath wrong’d too deeply to forgive,

That race of lineage high, of worth approved,

The chivalrous, the princely, the beloved—

Thine Aben-Zurrahs—they no more shall wield

In thy proud cause the conquering lance and shield:

Condemn’d to bid the cherish’d scenes farewell

Where the loved ashes of their fathers dwell,

And far o’er foreign plains as exiles roam,

Their land the desert, and the grave their home.

Yet there is one shall see that race depart
