Were around Clotilde, as she knelt to pray

In a chapel where the mighty lay,

On the old Provençal shore.

Many a Chatillon beneath,

Unstirr’d by the ringing trumpet’s breath,

His shroud of armour wore;

And the glimpses of moonlight that went and came

Through the clouds, like bursts of a dying flame,

Gave quivering life to the slumber pale

Of stern forms couch’d in their marble mail,
