Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from 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 "Think of that age´s awful birth, When Europe echoed, terror-riven, That a new foot was on the earth, And a new name come down from Heaven When over Calpe´s straits and steeps The Moor had bridged his royal road, And Othman´s sons from Asia´s deeps The conquests of the Cross o´erflowed. "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."
