SUCCESS to the heroes of gallant Castile, <br />Undaunted in danger, victorious in fight! <br />May they teach proud oppressors and tyrants to feel, <br />The patriot's arm of invincible might! <br /> <br />Live in memory eternal, the deeds of the brave! <br />Be the warriors immortal, who fall on the field! <br />The garlands of summer shall bloom on their grave, <br />And the trophies of glory emblazon their shield! <br /> <br />Success to the heroes whom Albion has giv'n, <br />In the cause of Iberia their aid to supply; <br />May they wield the bright armour of Justice and Heav'n, <br />And wave the proud banner of Freedom on high! <br /> <br />May Victory attend on the patriot-band! <br />May the genius of Albion their bosoms inflame! <br />Soon may they with laurels return to their land, <br />Be welcom'd by Love and applauded by Fame!<br /><br />Felicia Dorothea Hemans<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-2-4/
