Pyrene’s won! Upon the tallest crest

Did Nial, Morton mark with fond embrace

The crowning victory. Why together rest

Their eyes, the mist now melted, on that place

Beneath? Ye Powers! It is great Arthur’s face.

The flying French have eyed him too where o’er

His mountain charts, and plans of war the base,

With escort small intently he doth pore,

And none suspects the prize the foemen swift explore.
