* * * * * LXVI.
And now was come the day when on a pyre Men laid fair Paris, in a broider'd pall, And fragrant spices cast into the fire, And round the flame slew many an Argive thrall. When, like a ghost, there came among them all, A woman, once beheld by them of yore, When first through storm and driving rain the tallBlack ships of Argos dash'd upon the shore.
LXVII.
Not now in wrath OEnone came; but fair Like a young bride when nigh her bliss she knows, And in the soft night of her fallen ha...ir Shone flowers like stars, more white than Ida's snows, And scarce men dared to look on her, of thoseThe pyre that guarded; suddenly she came, And sprang upon the pyre, and shrill aroseHer song of death, like incense through the flame.
LXVIII.
And still the song, and still the flame went up, But when the flame wax'd fierce, the singing died;And soon with red wine from a golden cup Priests drench'd the pyre; but no man might divide The ashes of the Bridegroom from the Bride. Nay, they were wedded, and at rest again, As in those old days on the mountain-side, Before the promise of their youth was vain.
