Intrusive Phantom! let me rather see

What they behold . . .

Sweeping—vehemently sweeping—

No pause admitted—no design avowed!

Breathless the chieftain gazed—at length,

Endeavouring to collect his strength,

With pallid cheek and rueful brow,

And a half-pleading, a half-threatening eye,

Such as the Fates exclusively allow

For the behoof of suffering majesty,
