 | The Poetical Works of the Right Hon. George Canning |  |
To feebler nations let proud France afford
Her damning choice,—the chalice or the sword,—
To drink or die; oh fraud! oh specious lie!
Delusive choice! for if they drink, they die.
Her damning choice,—the chalice or the sword,—
To drink or die; oh fraud! oh specious lie!
Delusive choice! for if they drink, they die.
