The two who yet alive remain,

In dreadful conflict shake the plain;

The Fox observes the doubtful fight,

One drops—he smiles with fell delight;

Flies with the joyful news, and brings

The King to take what’s now the King’s.

Faint, breathless, bleeding on the ground,

The hapless victor soon they found;

He falls an unresisting prey,

And crowns the triumphs of the day.
