But, while content the Church should know My conscience owns the debt I owe, Unto De Argentine and Lorn The name of traitor I return, Bid them defiance stern and high, And give them in their throats the lie! These brief words spoke, I speak no more. Do what thou wilt; my shrift is o'er." XXX. Like man by prodigy amazed, Upon the King the Abbot gazed; Then o'er his pallid features glance, Convulsions of ecstatic trance. His breathing came more thick and fast, And from his pale blue eyes were cast Strange rays ofwildandwanderinglight; Uprise his locks of silver white, Flush'd is his brow, through every vein In azure tide the currents strain, And undistinguished accents broke The awful silence ere he spoke. XXXI. "De Bruce! I rose with purpose dread To speak my curse upon thy head, And give thee as an outcast o'er To him who burns to shed thy gore;--But, like the Midianite of old, Who stood on Zophim, Heaven-con troll'd, I feel within mine aged breast A power that will not be repress'd. It prompts my voice, it swells my veins, It burns, it maddens, it constrains!--De Bruce, thy sacrilegious blow Hath at God s altar slain thy foe: O'ermaster'd yet by high behest, I bless thee, and thou shalt be bless'd!" He spoke, and o'er the astonish'd throng Was silence, awful, deep, and long. XXXII. Again that light has fired his eye, Again his form swells bold and high, The broken voice of age is gone, 'Tis vigorous manhood's lofty tone:--"Thrice vanquish'd on the battle-plain, Thy followers slaughter'd, fled, or ta'en, A hunted wanderer on the wild, On fo..., 1000, Subjects, 1, Arts & Photography, 2, Biographies & Memoirs, 3, Business & Money, 3248857011, Calendars, 4, Children's Books, 12290, Christian Books & Bibles, 4366, Comics & Graphic Novels, 5, Computers & Technology, 6, Cookbooks, Food & Wine, 48, Crafts, Hobbies & Home, 21, Education & Reference, 173507, Engineering & Transportation, 301889, Gay & Lesbian, 10, Health, Fitness & Dieting, 9, History, 86, Humor & Entertainment, 10777, Law, 17, Literature & Fiction, 173514, Medical Books, 18, Mystery, Thriller & Suspense, 20, Parenting & Relationships, 3377866011, Politics & Social Sciences, 22, Religion & Spirituality, 23, Romance, 75, Science & Math, 25, Science Fiction & Fantasy, 4736, Self-Help, 26, Sports & Outdoors, 28, Teen & Young Adult, 27, Travel, 283155, Books, 465600, New, Used & Rental Textbooks, 468220, Business & Finance, 468226, Communication & Journalism, 468204, Computer Science, 468224, Education, 468212, Engineering, 468206, Humanities, 468222, Law, 468228, Medicine & Health Sciences, 684283011, Reference, 468216, Science & Mathematics, 468214, Social Sciences, 684300011, Test Prep & Study Guides, 2349030011, Specialty Boutique, 283155, Books<
