Climb sky-crown’d rocks—o’erpace the burning plain,

Just when his soul despairs—his spirits faint,

Achieves the threshold of his long-sought Saint:

The desert’s danger—storms and ruffian-bands—

All sink forgotten as the shrine expands—

Feet cure their toil that touch the hallow’d floors—

He rests his staff—kneels, trembles, and adores!

Exeunt Omnes.
