Whether from desecrated marble urn, Or from the quicklime of a felon's grave.
These bones were gathered that played here to-night ?
There must be cruel choice of dead men's bones Whilst rulers make new wars, and martyred saints ; Digitized by Google The Silent Player. 37 Whilst men, misnamed of peace, arise, and fan The smouldering fires betwixt opposing creeds, Thinking to do God service.
So, poor skull, It may be that thou hast rolled hitherward (Bereft of aureole or warrior's helm) From the ...sad cell of some sweet Magdalen, Or from the furrows of a tented field Whereon thou wert a victor ! Who can say ?
But, be thou that which little Peterkin Found, 'smooth and round,' * beside the rivulet,' A waif from Blenheim, or some virgin's skull Filched from the far-famed thousands at Cologne, Thou'st played thy part right well, and told to-night An old, old story !
Moralising thus, I don my cloak, and clasp a careless arm.
Then drive to supper. . . , Digitized by Google 38 ' WHAT I WOULD THAT HE SHOULD SAY.' T F I am cruel though you are kind, -*- If I taunt and tease you with passionate words, If I feel no faith in the vows that bind.
