Vienna 1683: The History and Consequences of the Defeat of the Turks Before Vienna, September 12, 1683, By John Sobieski, King of Poland, and Charles Leopold, Duke of Lorraine (Classic Reprint)

Think of that ageâs awful birth, Vhen Europe echoed, terror-riveu, That a new foot was on the earth, And a new name come down from Heaven When over Ca1peâs straits and steeps The Moor had bridged his royal road, And Othmanâs sons from A siaâs deeps The conquests of the Cross oâerfâ1owed. 1: lk I k Ifâ? Think with what passionate delight The tale was told in Christian halls, How Sobieski turned to flight The Muslim from Viennaâs walls; How, when his horse triumphant trod The burghersâ richest robes upou, The ancient words rose loud, â From God A man was sent whose name was John.â Loran HOUGHTON (T he rights of translation and of reproduction are reserved.
