In earnest and continual duty join....

How deeply, how devoutly, He will know

To whom the cry is raised!

Thus having said,

Deliberately, in self-possession still,

Himself from that most painful interview

Dispeeding, he withdrew. The watchful dog

Follow’d his footsteps close. But he retired

Into the thickest grove; there yielding way

To his o’erburthen’d nature, from all eyes
