And braves the baleful fogs and noisome air. Resolved his toil, his lingering death, to share. With anguish pines his fading form to see. And vv^eeps Theresa's harsh but just decree. Till mov'd to mercy by their guardian sprite. The queen restores the pair to upper light. F These, as he slowly left the council-hall, 1 30 His own sad fate to Henry's mind recall. Through many a spacious gallery Ariel led ; Their steps a small secluded chamber staid. Before a throne of ruby hue behold An emerald t...ripod grac'd with sculptur'd gold, Where firmly bound by adamantine chains, A crystal vase the fatal Veil contains. Beyond, its beams a wondrous mirror gave. That both illumines and reflects the cave, * Vide Pope's Rape of the Lock. + Vide Serjent's "Mine. " h4 104 THE ESCAPE book in- Like that strange gem instinct with life and light, 140 That self suspended shines and chases night. * Unconsciously as Henry near it stood, Himself restor'd to native form he view'd. " That glass, " said Ariel, " framed by magic charms, " Reflects substantial and ethereal forms ; " No nice disguise the real shape conceals, " Its power the bosom's inmost thoughts reveals, " And when, absorb'd in rays of solar light, " Their lucid forms too fine for mortal sight, " The sylphids revel in the noontide blaze, ^ 150 ^ Its polish'd face their airy band betrays.
