And performed one of the most rapid marches recorded in history,
Leaving the command of his army to Generals Soult and Ney.

IV 

 Often an early King or Queen, 
And storied hero onward, knew his sheen; 
 'Twas glimpsed by Wolfe, by Ney anon, 
 And Nelson on his blue demesne.

 But new light spread. That god's gold nimb 
And blazon have waned dimmer and more dim; 
 Even his flushed form begins to fade, 
 Till but a shade is left of him.

His spell, that penmen's pleadings dealt a stroke, 
 Say some; and some that crimes too dire
