XLV.

But mourn the brave who nobly fighting fell

Upon Pyrene’s mountains, mourn the brave

Whose breasts were pierced, where strove those bosoms well,

And, ah, too oft have found not e’en a grave!

For o’er those pathless solitudes the wave

Of War hath rolled, and ’mid those regions vast

Full many a wounded man, with none to save,

Hath sighed his aidless death-groan to the blast,
