by Émilien Pacini (1810 - 1898)

Le chant des titans
Language: French (Français) 
Encelade, Hypérion, Coelus, and Polyphène, 4 fils de Titan, le frère de Saturne:
 Guerre! massacre! carnage!
 Fils de Titan, du courage!
 Il faut punir tant d'outrage
 De notre bras vengeur!
 Hypérion, Encelade,
 Tombe l'usurpateur!
 Du ciel tentons l'escalade!
 À Jupiter malheurs!
 La foudre même,
 Lançant son anathème,
 Sur le tyran suprême
 Retombera.
 Hain à ce dieu téméraire!
 Nous défions son tonnerre!
 Roulons les monts de la terre,
 Pélion sur Ossa!
 Braves Titans, à la guerre!
 L'Olympien fuira.
 Ce roi du ciel succombera.
 Gloire à Titan notre père!
 A nous le feu! le fer!
 La mort à Jupiter!
