Can anyone translate this stanza for me? - The Republican Genius of Europe by Philip Freneau

Genius fo France! pursue the chace

Till Reason's laws restore

Man to be Man, in every clime; --

That Being, active, great, sublime

Debas'd in dust no more.

    it's already completed, but here's the whole poem:

    Explanation:

    The Republican Genius of Europe

    Emporers and kings! in vain you strive

    Your torments to conceal--

    The age is come that shakes your thrones,

    Tramples in dust despotic crowns,

    And bids the sceptre fail.

    In western worlds the flame began:

    From thence to France it flew--

    Through Europe, now, it takes its way,

    Beams an insufferable day,

    And lays all tyrants low.

    Genius of France! pursue the chase

    Till Reason's laws restore

    Man to be Man, in every clime; --

    That Being, active, great, sublime

    Debas'd in dust no more.

    In dreadful pomp he takes his way

    O'er ruin'd crowns, demolish'd thrones--

    Pale tyrants shrink before his blaze--

    Round him terrific lightenings play--

    With eyes of fire, he looks then through,

    Crushes the vile despotic crew,

    And Pride in ruin lays.
