And keepes such strength that when it softliest moves
It piece-meale shivers any let it proves—
So flew brave Clermont forth, till breath forsooke him,
Then fell to earth; and yet (sweet man) even then
His spirits convulsions made him bound againe35
Past all their reaches; till, all motion spent,
His fixt eyes cast a blaze of such disdaine,
All stood and star'd, and untouch'd let him lie,
As something sacred fallen out of the skie. A cry within.
O now some rude hand hath laid hold on him!40
