Or where tides of trade convulse;

Something mantled like a shape

Grasps at last with pounding pulse—

Mist he holds; while mocking rings

All the riot sprung anew,

With the flap and clap of wings.

Nay, my craven, you who fear

All this cackle of the crew,

Carping at your coward ear!

We who know the Dame so well,
