Like a corpse the grisly warrior

Looks from out his helm of steel;

But no word he speaks in answer,

Only with his armèd heel

Chides his weary steed, and onward

Up the city streets they ride;

Fathers, sisters, mothers, children,

Shrieking, praying by his side.

"By the God that made thee, Randolph!

Tell us what mischance hath come!"
