Works_, 1899, ii. 199, note 2. Hobhouse (_Travels in Albania_, 1858, ii.
3) prints a version (Byron told Murray that it was "well enough,"
_Letters_, 1899, iii. 13) of [Greek: Deu~te pai~des,] of his own
composition. He explains in a footnote that the metre is "a mixed
trochaic, except the chorus." "This song," he adds, "the chorus
particularly, is sung to a tune very nearly the same as the Marseillois
Hymn. Strangely enough, Lord Byron, in his translation, has entirely
mistaken the metre." The first stanza runs as follows:--

"Greeks arise! the day of glory
Comes at last your swords to claim.
Let us all in future story
Rival our forefathers' fame.
Underfoot the yoke of tyrants
Let us now indignant trample,
Mindful of the great example,
And avenge our country's shame."]

[18] {22} The song from which this is taken is a great favourite with
the young girls of Athens of all classes. Their manner of singing it is
by verses in rotation, the whole number present joining in the chorus. I
have heard it frequently at our [Greek: "cho/roi"] in the winter of
1810-11. The air is plaintive and pretty.
