The Sieges of Vienna by the Turks

THE
SIEGES OF VIENNA
BY
THE TURKS.

TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN OF KARL AUGUST SCHIMMER AND OTHER SOURCES,

By THE EARL OF ELLESMERE.


Think with what passionate delight
The tale was told in Christian halls,
How Sobieski turned to flight
The Muslim from Vienna’s walls.
How, when his horse triumphant trod
The Burghers’ richest robes upon,
The ancient words rose loud—From God
A man was sent, whose name was John.
Palm Leaves, by Richard Monckton Miles.
