Such were my thoughts and such the scene, When I perceived that by me stood A Grecian youth of earnest mien, Well-suiting my reflective mood, i 160 The Greek at Constantinople.
And when he spoke, his words were tuned Harmonious to my present mind, As if his spirit had communed With mine, while I had there reclined.
" Stranger ! whose soul hath strength to soar Beyond the compass of the eye, And on a spot like this can more Than charms of form and hue descry, Take off this mask of beauty, scan T...he face of things with truth severe, Think, as becomes a Christian man, Of us thy Christian brethren here !
" Think of that age's awful birth, When Europe echoed, terror-riven, That a new foot was on the earth, And a new name come down from Heaven When over Calpe's straits and steeps The Moor had bridged his royal road, And Othman's sons from Asia's deeps The conquests of the Cross o'erflowed.
" Think, if the arm of Charles Martel Had failed upon the plain of Tours, The fate, whose course you know so well, This foul subjection had been yours : Where then had been the long renown France can from sire to son deliver?
