T
And the battle’s wreck lay thickest,
Strewed beneath the advancing banner
Of the eagles’ burning crest—
There with thunder-clouds to fan her
Victory beaming from her breast!
While the broken line enlarging
Fell, or fled along the plain:—
There be sure Murat was charging!
There he ne’er shall charge again!
