Fixed on him an unhallowed name;

Him, free from all malicious taint,

And guiding, like the Patmos Saint,

A pen unwearied—to indite,

In his lone Isle,[24] the dreams of night;

Impassioned dreams, that strove to span

The faded glories of his Clan!

VII

Suns that through blood their western harbour sought,

And stars that in their courses fought;
