Where is the perfidious
Army of Carlos? A celestial thunderbolt Has turned it to dust-- A thunderbolt which plunged The wicked one into the abyss-- A thunderbolt which _Liberty_ Launched against Carlism. Let us triumph, my friends, etc. Of the brave chief, Of the good, the valiant, Let us gird the forehead With myrtle and laurel. Thy brave right hand, Heroic warrior, Thy right hand, _Espartero_, Subdued the disloyal one. Let us triumph, my friends, etc. Our holy laws Will be acknowledged, And kings will tremble At the power of Spain; And should a tyrant grasp The sceptre of opprobrium, From his infamous hand We shall cause it to fall. |
