Surpassed the past, in brave authority,
Measured deep earth and heaven's altitude:
So that, holding all power in its hand,

That some head raised from the ancient tomb,
To speak her name, might be deemed to have lied.

My hand in
dedicative
worship lifts
In shame on high to thee the scattered off'ring,
No more a token of imagined glory,
--Although with many a precious tear-drop shining--
No more a choice of rare and wondrous jewels,
That fain from destiny for thee I'd conquer,
Than e'er the tale of hellish love and hatred
Can spread by this subdued and falt'ring voice.

Ye who have felt the dear, luxurious smart,
When angel-charms oppress the powerless heart,
In pity here relent the brow severe,
And o'er Fernando's
weakness
drop the tear.

With pity too
I saw Earth's child, the
monstrous
thing of war,
That in Cilicia's hollow places dwelt--
Typho; I saw his hundred-headed form
Crushed and constrained; yet once his stride was fierce,
His jaws gaped horror and their hiss was death,
And all heaven's host he challenged to the fray,
While, as one vowed to storm the power of Zeus,
Forth from his eyes he shot a demon glare.

O bring my vessels where the

And thy glad lips my gratitude shall tell.

for those they take away,
And those they left me; for they left me gay;
Left me to see neglected genius bloom,
Neglected die, and tell it on his tomb:
Of all thy blameless life the soul return
My verse, and
Queensbury
weeping o'er thy urn!
