• From “The Giaour”
    CLIME of the unforgotten brave!
    Whose land, from plain to mountain-cave,
    Was Freedom’s home or Glory’s grave!
    Shrine of the mighty! can it be
    That this is all remains of thee?
    Approach, thou craven, crouching slave;
      Say, is not this Thermopylæ?
    These waters blue that round you lave,
      O servile offspring...
