Classic poem

Stanza From a Translation of the Marseillaise Hymn

by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Tremble, Kings despised of man!

Ye traitors to your Country,

Tremble! Your parricidal plan

At length shall meet its destiny...

We all are soldiers fit to fight,

But if we sink in glory's night

Our mother Earth will give ye new

The brilliant pathway to pursue

Which leads to Death or Victory...
