Kings!—I had silent visions of deep bliss,

Leaving their thrones far distant; and for this

I am cast under their triumphal car,

An insect to be crush’d! Oh! heaven is far—

Earth pitiless!

Dost thou forget me, Seymour? I am proved

So long, so sternly! Seymour, my beloved!

There are such tales of holy marvels done

By strong affection, of deliverance won

Through its prevailing power! Are these things told
