The baron died; The last of the Strongbows he, gramercy !
And the Clare estate with its wealth and its pride Devolved to the Bloets, Walter or Percy.
Ten years and a score thereafter. And they Ransacked the old castle and mark ! — one day In a lonesome tower uprummaged a chest From Flanders, of sinister ebon, carved Sardonic with masks 'round an olden crest, Gargoyle faces distorted and starved : Fast fixed with a spring which they forced and lo !
When they opened it — ha, Hortense ! — or, no !... — Fantastic a skeleton jeweled and wreathed 104 '^^^ LAST SCION OF THE HOUSE OF CLARE.
With flowers of dust, and a minever About it hugged, which quaint richness sheathed Of a bridal raiment and lace with fur.
— I'd have given such years of my life — yes, well ! — As were left me then so her lover, Hugh, For such time breathed as it took one to tell How she forever, deemed false, was true !
He'd have known how it was, " For, you see, in groping For the puny spring of that panel — hoping And fearing as nearer and nearer grew The boisterous scramble — why, out she blew Her windy taper and quick — in this chest Wary would lie for — a minute, mayhap, Till the hurry all passed ; but the death-lock pressed — Ere her heart was aware — with a hungry snap." ON THE JELLICO-SPUR.
