Failed at Rome’s gates, and blood seemed vainly poured

Where in Christ’s name the crownèd infidel

Of France wrought murder with the arms of hell.

God’s providence is not blind, but, full of eyes,

It searches all the refuges of lies;

And in his time and way the accursed things

Before whose evil feet thy battle-gage

Has clashed defiance from hot youth to age

Shall perish.”
