"A Roman though I am, " he oft would cry, "Thy King I'd welcome and for Him I'd serve. " 'Yet thou art craftsman and no soldier thou. " "A craftsman too can serve his loyal due. " 'How wouldst thou serve?" the Boy inquiring spoke. "When Joseph bids me go, that I can learn no more, This I can do — ^to build for Him His throne. " THE THRONE OF THE KING 121 The Shadow swept across the boyish face— The Shadow Fidus once had seen before; And he was silent, for in awe he stood When that mysterious sh...ade shut off the light That shone out from the radiant brow. The Shadow was not fear, nor dread of death; But dread of something worse than death could bring. It was as if a Hly, broken, bent, But yet unsullied, now was stained with filth By impious hand ; more cruel far than death The marring of the whiteness death had spared : Or like a stream, that through its mountain bed Had raced unfettered, toward the amber sea, And o'er the rapids and the pebbles dashed Clear, cold and placid when the mouth is reached ; Then, death unfeared before it, ready now To give back to the ocean all it gave, Into its pureness poured a stream so dark That tainted all its life, when life was lost.
