That horror seized the courtiers by ! The tyrant's burst of hate — so dread — The cause, that hallowed once, seemed fled ; 42 HEERA. The very murder of hh son, Their wrongs — defeat, — all, all were gonej And nobler bosoms quailed in fear At form of withering Vengeance there ! Ev'n Soopol shuddered at the view. And oft his searching glance withdrew : For ne'er, on life's frequented path, Had witnessed he such demon %vrath. He speechless stood, — but soon again His tongue pursued its purposed st...rain ; And thus his words : — " O valiant Roy, ' Thy slave's poor curse can ill destroy ' The mighty spoiler of our land, ^ Who lifts on high his sovereign haTid— - ' And lo ! the gather'd ruin lowers, ' O'er Beejanuggur's hundred towers !— - ' But, Pri«)ce ! I can a tale unfohl, ' To rouse thy soul to vengeance bold ; ' And make the hated tyrant feel ' More torture ev'n than could thy steel 1" Stern Dewul heard, and waved assent, Then sat in mute attention bent, — The late wild passion of hii^ breast.
