Bellona and Bacchante! rushing forth

On yon stout marching Schoolmen of the North.

Inveterate of brain, well knows she why

Strength failed her, faithful to himself the first:

Her dream is done, and she can read the sky,

And she can take into her heart the worst

Calamity to drug the shameful thought

Of days that made her as the man she served,

A name of terror, but a thing unnerved:

Buying the trickster, by the trickster bought,
