Poor patriots, partly purchased, partly pressed.

Truce to thee, Turkey! Triumph to thy train,
Unwise, unjust, unmerciful Ukraine!

An Austrian army, awfully arrayed,
Boldly by battery besieged Belgrade.
Cossack commanders cannonading come,
Dealing destruction's devastating doom.

Labour low levels longest, loftiest lines;
Men march 'mid mounds, 'mid moles, 'mid murderous mines.
