Julian, to thee, the terror of the faithless, I bring my father's order, to prepare For the bright day that crowns thy brave exploits: Our enemy is at the very gate! And art thou here, with women in thy train, Crouching to gain admittance to their lord, And mourning the unkindness of delay!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
