XIII. Hark ! — 'tis the hush of men — the stifled hum : As when, for moments, armies hold their breath Suspended, for the signal-word to come. That shall hurl myriads from their life to death : Lo ! — in the seats around — above — beneath — A sea of heads : a coil of human life Circles as with a vast and varied wreath, Each stone, and living column, each door, rife With struggle, stand, or rush — the moment's eager strife. 182 THE DYING GLADIATOR, XIV. The lower tier — lo, how are thronging the...re, The wealth of Rome in one full living tide ! There fills the Emperor his golden chair : Knights, Consuls, Senators, on either side : Above, sits Roman beauty in her pride ! Crowning the topmost tier, plebeians crowd. Looking down there, as from the Mountain's side. Into the vale ! — while, o'er them, like a cloud. Spreads the Velaria's sail, an ever-shadowing shroud. XV. The roar is hushed — a deathlike stillness reigns ; Some sight unused arrests the common mind : Though drmik with blood, their rage awhile refrains ; O'er breathless thousands ye might hear the Wind Wave to and fr*o, the sail o'er them inclined !
