And every bridge as quickly as he crost
Sprang into fire and vanished, though I yearned
To follow; and thrice above him all the heavens
Opened and blazed with thunder such as seemed
Shoutings
of all the sons of God: and first
At once I saw him far on the great Sea,
In silver-shining armour starry-clear;

Clothed in white samite or a luminous cloud.

Fails to rouse the creatures of a kind,
Whether swift bird aloft or fleeting hind,
Whether equipped with scales or sharpened claws,
What ardent Fury in her pincers' jaws
Gripped your hearts, so poisoned the mind,

Into your own entrails your own blade bores?

If leaves can mourn without a tear,
How eyes must weep!
