Nor grew it white

In a single night,

As men’s have grown from sudden fears;

My limbs are bow’d, though not with toil, 5

But rusted with a vile repose,

For they have been a dungeon’s spoil,

And mine has been the fate of those

To whom the goodly earth and air

Are bann’d, and barr’d—forbidden fare; 10

But this was for my father’s faith
