By thine own proud and royal name—

Once more the enchanted sword I claim!

It comes! the gleaming point I see—

It comes with solemn minstrelsy!

With bounding heart and rapturous eyes

I grasp the long contested prize!

Now let the broken turf-bed close

In peace above thy deep repose;

Thou canst not feel another spell—

Prince! To thy dust a long farewell!
