Tribute To The Vanquished by Victor Hugo

 ("Laissez-moi pleurer sur cette race.") 
 
 {I. v.} 


 Oh! let me weep that race whose day is past, 
 By exile given, by exile claimed once more, 
 Thrice swept away upon that fatal blast. 
 Whate'er its blame, escort we to our shore 
 These relics of the monarchy of yore; 
 And to th' outmarching oriflamme be paid 
 War's honors by the flag on Fleurus' field displayed!
