The Goth with louder utterance as he rose

Exclaim’d, ... clap now your wings exultingly

Ye ravenous fowl of Heaven; and in your dens

Set up, ye wolves of Spain, a yell of joy;

For, lo! a nation hath this day been sworn

To furnish forth your banquet; for a strife

Hath been commenced, the which from this day forth

Permits no breathing-time, and knows no end

Till in this land the last invader bow

His neck beneath the exterminating sword.
