While from all voices round, loquacious joy

Mingled its buzz continuous with the blast

Of horn, shrill pipe, and tinkling cymbals’ clash,

And sound of deafening drum. But when the Prince

Drew nigh, and Urban with the Cross upheld

Stept forth to meet him, all at once were still’d

With instantaneous hush; as when the wind,

Before whose violent gusts the forest oaks,

Tossing like billows their tempestuous heads,

Roar like a raging sea, suspends its force,
