375 XLIL What glorious wreaths of palms I see them weave, With which the mighty victors shall be crowned ; By conquest these he also shall receiA^e, Wherein no shade of fear or shame is found.
Groa that noble city, so renowned, Then evil chance compels him to forego His prize till more propitious times come round, And he again shall take it from the foe ; Not only fortune thus but Mars he shall o'erthrow.
XLIII.
Lo! now against the place he turns, and breaks Through ramparts, lances, fire and c...annon balls.
And boldly his resistless way he makes.
Upon the dense and dreadful squadi'ons falls, And drives Gentoos and Moors beneath the walls, His famous soldiers shall more victims slay, Than bulls or lions whom fierce hunger calls : Tliis was Saint Catherine's most hallowed day, To Egypt's virgin all their homage duly pay.
XLIV.
E'en thou shalt not unscathed from him escape.
In spite of all thy wealth and vast extent.
Though proudly cradled in Aurora's lap Where thou wast born ; thou shalt be lowly bent Malacca, most renowned and opulent.
