William Cowper - In Seditionem Horrendam, Corruptelis Gallicus Ut Fertue, Londini Nuper ExortamWilliam Cowper - In Seditionem Horrendam, Corruptelis Gallicus Ut Fertue, Londini Nuper Exortam
Work rating: Low


Perfida, crudelis, victa et lymphata furore, Non armis, laurum Gallia fraude petit. Venalem pretio plebem conducit, et urit Undique privatas patriciasque domos. Nequicquam conata suâ, fœdissima sperat Posse tamen nostrâ nos superare manu. Gallia, vana struis!  Precibus nunc utere! Vinces, Nam mites timidis supplicibusque sumus. TRANSLATION. False, cruel, disappointed, stung to the heart, France quits the warrior`s for the assassin`s part, To dirty hands a dirty bribe conveys, Bids the low street and lofty palace blaze. Her sons, too weak to vanquish us alone, She hires the worst and basest of our own. Kneel, France! a suppliant conquers us with ease, We always spare a coward on his knees.
