Each steed to earth, where each in anguish gnashed

The tapestry waves dark round the dim lighted hail,
With scutcheons of silver the coffin is shielded,

Through the proudly arched chapel the banners are beaming,
And down the long aisle sacred music is streaming,
Lamenting a chief of the people should fall.”

An instant, and they heard his murderers roar.”

When Bertha in all her beauty blazed,
As a knight should hear Count Otto hoard,

As the sun regards the clouds that plav
Round his radiant path on a summer day. ’
482. Loyal Sir Byng.G. D. Leslie, A.
“ Kentish Sir Byng stood for his King,

Great hearted gentlemen, singing one song.”

With frantic shout and deafening roar,
Tossing the torches' flames about.”
