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

Let the brave, let the brave fill the battered

War-chalice, fair Freedom, to thee;

On the slave, on the slave be it shattered,

Unless the slave pant to be free!

Libertad, libertad sacrosanta!

Were death in the depths of the flask,

Libertad, libertad mi encanta,

We’ll drain it to “Free be the Basque!”
