Replied with ominous groans.
Occasionally the name of Collatine,
In audible whispers, slowly crept about—
And ever, as the orator’s form was seen,
Went up a mighty shout—
Another! and another! as his hand
Upheld a bloody knife—his figure bent,
Regarding them; his aspect of command
Loftily eloquent—
A bale fire flashing from his eagle eye!
