The tenantless region his eye could not scan ; The ocean roU'd over where monarchs had frown'd ; When Tyre was the pride and the glory of man, And man, in his foolishness, God would he crown'd ! ''' Now stood he, his purple the sport of the air, '^' With none to bow down to his glorified brow; A trembler — and sung, in the depth of despair, Of Hiram and Tyre in their glory and woe : — 96 THE SONG OF SONG. ■ I. ' Queen of tlie Ocean, now no more, f^' ' Arise ! I'd see thee as of yore, ' When Hir...am, in imperial state, ' Amidst his tliousaiid Princes sate ; ' And Tyre, as from a charmed birth, ' The fairest city of the earth, ' Rose from the bosom of that deep, ' Does o'er her now so reckless sweep. IL ' I love to swell the glorious theme, * As poets of the mighty dream ; ' To chronicle in bm'ning song ' The past as witli a prophet-tongue : ' Yes, 1 could dwell upon the strain ' Till Tyre and Hiram were again, ' Great as when first from greatness liurl'd ' The king and mistress of tlie world ; — THE SPIRIT OF HIRAM.
