And raise her joyful from this living grave,

To be thine own, thy loved for evermore;

My heart said thou wouldst come, and to despond forbore.

“But human strength can be of no avail

To rend the vastness of this dungeon wall;

Then seek the hermit, dwelling in the vale,

Beside the eastern mount, and straightway call

His wisdom to thine aid, for he can all

The spells of magic by his skill destroy,

And make the strongholds of enchantment fall;
