Of fierce gold fire: he lifted her within

The hollow underneath—how else begin

Fate's second marvellous cycle, else renew

The ages than with Palma plain in view?

Then paced the passage, hands clenched, head erect,

Pursuing his discourse; a grand unchecked

Monotony made out from his quick talk

And the recurring noises of his walk;

—Somewhat too much like the o'ercharged assent

Of two resolved friends in one danger blent,
