Sits the shade of Charlemagne
Armed and crowned!
HOW BALTHAZAR THE KING WENT DOWN INTO EGYPT
NILUS! Nilus! and before them rolled
The mystic river, while a barge of gold
Lay moored with its carved prow against a pier,
From which the King embarked with all his train.
The reis on the fore-deck drew the spear
From out the ringbolt and cast off the chain,
