And then for ever left her bridal halls.

Oh when I last beheld yon princely pile,

Exclaim’d Siverian, with what other thoughts

Full, and elate of spirit, did I pass

Was trampled then and bruised beneath the feet

Of thronging crowds. Here drawn in fair array,

The faithful vassals of my master’s house,
