Iberia Won; A poem descriptive of the Peninsular War / With impressions from recent visits to the battle-grounds, and copious historical and illustrative notes

by T. M. Hughes

Though Rhune was there impregnable, a side

Which might a pathway open to his men,

And give their arms of Gaul to tame the pride.

O’er Sarre the ascent arose more fair and wide,

And strongly there concentred the brigades

Assail the rocks that long approach defied.

The rocks are won—the Gaulish valour fades,—

And won a height intrenched their camp at Sarre which shades.
