Finland is ours; Denmark our powers,
Or has learnt, or soon shall learn 'em;
Poland beneath our Eagle cowers,—
(Non confundar in æternum!)
The Euxine's gates are Russian straits;
(Thanks to English heads so dunder)
By us choked up the Danube waits—
In æturnum non confundar!
Who checks my course? Use fraud and force—
Bribe 'em—beat 'em—brand 'em—burn 'em!
