Abe: Imperial son of Nicholas the Great,see also Tsar Alexander II of Russia pledges support for the Union
We air in the same fix I calculate,
You with your Poles, with Southern rebels I,
Who spurn my rule and my revenge defy.
Alex: Vengeance is mine, old man; see where it falls,
Behold your hearths laid waste, and ruined walls,
Your gibbets, where the struggling patriot hangs,
Whilst my brave myrmidons enjoy his pangs.
