canto vn. OF CYTI1ERA. 1G9 For so the loss the loser's mind eno-asred, That ever since at noble arms he raged, Abroad, at table, in his hours of rest, Still on his thoughts the plundered treasure press'd, In every place alike, where'er he went, His rage forever struggled for a vent; Which so o'erlook'd all difference of decree, That e'en with low-born slaves and Alfred free He curs'd the flower of Christian chivalry.
And with such emphasis of hate decried Their deeds of enterprize and martial p...ride, That Alfred's noble nature, forced so long By hard necessity to suffer wrong, Beam'd forth, long smother'd, in his glowing eyes, And spurn' d at once the caution of disguise : His blood indignant mantled in his cheek, His tongue in boorish phrase forgot to speak, And in defence of knighthood's fair renown His mien so changed, and so forsook the clown, 17 THE FOUR SLAVES canto vii.
As made e'en stupid Zulemah admire A 'haviour foreign from a slave's attire.
With wonder half confounded, half with fear, Amazed to see the change, amazed to hear ; The listener scann'd his figure and his face, His utterance noted next, and new-born grace, From whence he saw, but disbelieved his sight, Form, voice, and gesture of the thievish knight.
