Xim. Will he see

The noble stem hewn down, the beacon-light

Which from his house for ages o’er the land

Hath shone through cloud and storm, thus quench’d at once?

Will he not aid his children in the hour

Of this their utmost peril? Awful power

Is with the holy dead, and there are times

When the tomb hath no chain they cannot burst!

Is it a thing forgotten how he woke

From its deep rest of old; remembering Spain
