While Waterloo with Cannæ's carnage vies,[314]

Morat and Marathon twin names shall stand;

They were true Glory's stainless victories,

Won by the unambitious heart and hand

Of a proud, brotherly, and civic band,

All unbought champions in no princely cause

Of vice-entailed Corruption; they no land[iy]

Doomed to bewail the blasphemy of laws

Making Kings' rights divine, by some Draconic clause.
