Adieu, fair Cadiz! yea, a long adieu!
Who may forget how well thy walls
have stood?
When all were changing, thou alone
wert true,
First to be free, and last to be
subdued.
And if amidst a scene, a shock so
rude,
Some native blood was seen thy streets
to dye,
A traitor only fell beneath the
feud:
Here all were noble, save nobility;
None hugged a conqueror’s chain save fallen
Chivalry!
