The thirteenth stanza contains lines on Benjamin Franklin: Le Modeste Franklin s'arme contre l'orage Et va chercher la foudre en ses plus noirs foyers ; Il lui prescrit sa route ; et du sein du nuage Sans bruit la fait descendre et mourir à ses pieds. De cette même main qui termina la guerre Qui de la liberté dans un autre hémisphère Sur rappeller défendre et raffermir les droits Il impose silence au maître du tonnerre Il désarme les dieux du ciel et de la terre L'inclémence des airs la vengeance des rois. Roughly translated: The modest Franklin arms himself against the storm And goes to seek the lightning in its darkest lairs; He prescribes its path; and from the heart of the cloud Silently makes it descend and die at his feet. With that same hand that ended the war That in another hemisphere recalled defended And reasserted the rights of liberty He silences the master of the thunder He disarms the gods of sky and earth The inclemency of the skies the vengeance of kings. unknown
