Of his own voice confirmed, he leaps upon the ground.

Long, strict, and tender was the embrace he gave,

Feebly returned by daunted Artegal;

Whose natural affection doubts enslave,

And apprehensions dark and criminal.

Loth to restrain the moving interview,

The attendant lords withdrew;

And, while they stood upon the plain apart,

Thus Elidure, by words, relieved his struggling heart.
