Pity away, soon shall ye quake with fear![714]

For, not unconscious of the mighty debt

Which to outrageous wrong the sufferer owes,

Europe, through all her habitable bounds,[715]

Is thirsting for their overthrow, who yet

Survive, as pagan temples stood of yore,

By horror of their impious rites, preserved;

Are still permitted to extend their pride,[716]

Like cedars on the top of Lebanon

Darkening the sun.
