CANTO IV. Or the monks. 135 They shall not change Rome's fearful doom— Her gory race is run. See ! on that hill, thy boasted hold. The monk, who gorged on monarch's gold. Quivers upon th' accursed wood. And feeds the raven's gathering brood. O'er Glastonbury's loopholed walls The yew bursts wild, the ivy crawls: Heaven's choristers on fearless wing Amid thy roofless cloysters sing : And thou — I see the judgment throne ! It is not set for nie alone ; The hour is fixed ; the hour is nigh, When t...hou must stand beside me there ; And look again on the steadfast eye That dooms thee now to thy long despair : She shrinks not from thy aspect now Who trembled not before ; Thou lookedst on ray burning brow, Thou seest me in my gore ; — Gaze — for the sight shall leave thee never. But bleed within thy soul for ever !" 136 ELGIVA, CANTO iv.
XXIV.
The head was dropped that aloft was raised ; The heaven-blue eye was fixed and glazed ; The hand relaxed its clinging hold. The stiflfening limbs grew pale and cold : A snowy wanness its langour shed On Edwy's face as it bent o'er the dead : A hue more strange than sorrow gave.
