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

Whose ordinance pure, proscribing Rapine’s lust,

Outshone in peace and war Napoléon;—

Like Aristides fitly called “The Just;”

Or liker his associate in the trust

Of Athens, great Themistocles, excelling

In martial prowess all that turns to dust,

Nor less in Wisdom. Gaul is grateful telling

Thy glories, Scipio-pure, amidst her Lares dwelling.
