That e’er laid lance in rest—and thou didst wear

The noblest form that ever woman’s eye

Dwelt on with love; and till that fatal dream

Came o’er thee! Aymer! Aymer! thou wert still

The most true-hearted brother! There thou art

Whose breast was once my shield! I never thought

That foes should see me weep! but there thou art,

Aymer, my brother!——

Mor. (suddenly rising.) With his last, last breath

He bade me save his brother!
