Damad 'Ali might recover the Morea, and victoriously surround the shores of Greece with his hundred sail; but he would not venture to threaten Venice, to lay siege to Nice, to harry Naples, or attack Malta. The Turks had enough to do to hold their own in the Black Sea against the encroaching forces ...

His sword forced a triumphant way for Charlemagne, it guarded his army, passing victoriously through the unknown country of the enemies.
