So strange, so startling, all his late career, So wrapt in mystery, so involved the sphere In which he triumph'd since exiled from home, That wild conjecture filled the void unknown, And whisper'd ominous to condemn Marcel : " Behold his forehead, gash'd by sword or shell, And mark his bearing, watch his kindling eye.
When cannon-thunder booms along the sky." IX.
The prostrate captive, though disarm'd and bound, Now raised his eye and quiet gazed around, 4* 42 ELFLORA OF THE SUSQUEHANNA.
