French Optimism<br />

How they marchʹd onto the field of slaughters<br />

With music & banners to daunt the foe<br />

As the Emperorʹs beautiful daughters<br />

Wheelʹd into position, row after row;<br />

Plush cavalry<br />

Mounted on fine horses ‐<br />

In sight for all to see, the mighty French forces.<br />

Book VIII<br />

Waterloo<br />

Along the front their leader made<br />

The grand tour of inspection,<br />

As thoʹ his men were on parade,<br />

Abundant with affection,<br />

Steeping upon his cavalcade<br />

Raptʹrous salutation,<br />

ʺBefore the sun sets we shall, together,<br />

Help France rise more glorious than ever.ʺ<br />

He sat at a small deal table,<br />

Down shone a burning sun,<br />

ʺBy a brutal assault frontal<br />

We must take Mont Saint‐Jean,<br />

But first, to draw the reserves out, let us tease Hougoumont.ʺ<br />

Guaires plus outre ne sera pourchasseʹ:<br />

Ost recampeʹ & legion reduicte,<br />

Puis hors des Gaules du tout sera chasseʹ
