That all was ^eW.
THE WARDEN OF THE CINQUE PORTS. 133 And down the coast, all taking up the burden, Replied the distant forts.
As if to summon from his sleep the Warden And Lord of the Cinque Ports.
Him shall no sunshine from the fields of azure.
No drum-beat from the wall.
No morning gun from the black fort's embrasure, Awaken with its call !
No more, surveying with an eye impartial The long line of the coast.
Shall the gaunt figure of the old Field Marshal Be seen upon his post !
For in the n...ight, unseen; a single warrior, In sombre harness mailed.
Dreaded of man, and surnamed the Destroyer, The rampart wall has scaled.
134 THE WARDEN OF THE CINQUE PORTS.
He passed into the chamber of the sleeper, The dark and silent room, And as he entered, darker grew, and deeper, The silence and the gloom.
He did not pause to parley or dissemble, But smote the Warden hoar ; Ah ! what a blow ! that made all England tremble And groan from shore to shore.
Meanwhile, without, the surly cannon waited.
