That Kings would think.html">think withal,

Still on the spot Lord Marmion stay'd, 600
When sated with the martial.html">martial show
The wandering eye could o'er it go,
With gloomy splendour red;
That round her sable turrets flow,
And tinged them with a lustre proud, 610
Such dusky grandeur clothed the height,
And all the steep slope down,
Piled deep and massy, close and high,
But northward far, with purer blaze,
And as each heathy top they kiss'd, 620
Yonder the shores of Fife you saw;
And, broad between them roll'd,
Whose islands on its bosom float,
Fitz-Eustace' heart felt closely pent;
The spur he to his charger lent, 630
And, making demi-volte in air,
To fight for such a land!'
Nor Marmion's frown repress'd his glee.
Where mingled trump, and clarion loud,
And sackbut deep, and psaltery, 640
And cymbal clattering to the sky,
Did up the mountain come;
Merrily toll'd the hour of prime,
'Thus clamour still the war-notes when
Or to Saint Katharine's of Sienne, 650
To you they speak of martial fame;
When blither was their cheer,
In signal none his steed should spare,
To the downfall of the deer.
I view yon Empress of the North 660
Her palace's imperial bowers,
Her stately halls and holy towers--
To think what woe mischance may bring,
The death-dirge of our gallant King;
The burghers forth to watch and ward, 670
