O’er Andrew’s grave a tablet-stone was rais’d;
And as the sheep around about it graz’d
Arnold some day, perchance, might step thereon—
Himself to witness that the deed was done:
And, doubtless, if he lives to see the mound
A tear will trickle on that holy ground,
Where, near the spot (within the sacred fane),
Lord William’s ancestors were deathful lain,—
So that no stranger would (when Arnold saw)
Be studious sorrowing o’er the dead below.
