Ranged thick and motionless, I see him not!

—But now——

Gon. He bade me keep mine eye upon him,

And all is darkness round me!—Now?

Gar. A sword,

A sword, springs upward, like a lightning burst,

Through the dark serried mass! Its cold blue glare

Is wavering to and fro—’tis vanish’d—hark!

Gon. I heard it, yes!—I heard the dull dead sound

That heavily broke the silence! Didst thou speak?
