On all sides, and along the vale of blood
The avenging sword did mercy’s work that hour.

RODERICK AND COUNT JULIAN.
Thou hast been busy, Death! this day, and yet
But half thy work is done; the Gates of Hell
Are throng’d, yet twice ten thousand spirits more,
Who from their warm and healthful tenements
Fear no divorce, must ere the sun go down
Enter the world of woe! the Gate of Heaven
