The common air proclaimed his name,
Where’ere the breath of heaven hath blown,
His sceptred galleys walked the main;
And claimed it as their own.
Still ask you of the silent guest,
Who finds in death his bed below;
Pavia,[16] hast thou the secret kept,
Nor thou revealed it Ronceveaux?
Brave brotherhood of Paladin’s
Bear ye no witness of his reign?
