And tower, and b3temeEt, and tuec,

In triumph from the fight,
With spoil and captiyes IN ins tram

As his red eyes scans the ihrons
Who rdc,h on yon car?

Comes there soiae dent god oi old.
M anSwci:--So reply,
Who riteth on yoa cat:
No shout hls iainions raise,

The muiled hero stays.

And with uncovered head

Ere the strong Angels call:

The Imperial crowa, with jewels bright,
Upon his ashes colds

With the hearts blood Of the brave.
