Intrude, however glorified and high;

He knew him but the viceroy of the sky.

He and the sombre silent Spirit met—

They knew each other both for good and ill;

Such was their power that neither could forget

His former friend and future foe; but still

In either's eye, as if't were less their will

Than destiny to make the eternal years
