76 THE DOOM OF COLYN DOLPHYN. [Canto in. Whether they sued for human aid, Or for theu' Maker's mercy pray'd, Can ne'er be known : — the furious gale Reserv'd no voice to tell their tale. But sadly spoke the feature flushed How to the brain the blood had rush'd ; And fractured limb, and gash, and gore. Told of the bufFetings they bore. Vengeance their aim ! — But now suppress'd Their rage ; — and there they lay at rest. No bosom heav'd with vital breath ; — On every tongue the seal of death Was ...press'd. — But, if in anguish keen. Ere lost to them each earthly scene. They rais'd the bosom's contrite wail To Him whose mercies never fail. That stilly orison, — we pray ! Was heard ere past their lives away. Here ceas'd the tale. — From central tower The clock proclaim'd protracted hour : — From Stradling's hall the guests depart ;. — But leave it with reluctant heart. Canto hi] THE EXECUTION. 77 Sir Edward, — gone his grateful train, — Turned to the Huntsman once again ; — Again his aged hand he press'd ; Bade him good night!
