Cradled the Hun; from all the countless realms

Between Imaus and that utmost strand

Where columns of Herculean rock confront

The blown Altantic; Roman, Goth, and Hun,

And Scythian strength of chivalry, that tread

The cold Codanian shore or what far lands

Inhospitable drink Cimmerian floods,

Franks, Saxons, Suevic, and Sarmatian chiefs,

And who from green Armorica or Spain

Flocked to the work of death."
