All brighten’d by the rich transparent hues

That southern suns o’er heaven and earth diffuse—

Blend in one scene of glory, form’d to throw

O’er memory’s page a never-fading glow,

And there, too, foremost midst the conquering brave,

Your azure plumes, O Aben-Zurrahs! wave.

There Hamet moves; the chief whose lofty port

Seems nor reproach to shun, nor praise to court;

Calm, stern, collected—yet within his breast

Is there no pang, no struggle, unconfess’d?
