And the lone fountain's murm'ring fall replies.
The crowd depart; each goes his sev'ral way; The night may hide the mem'ry of the day: Some seek, with equal eye, the shouting ring, Where o'er the sands the rival coursers spring; Some gaze where one who bears a Roman name Wastes in wild pomp the wealth he bought with shame; Some track the milk-white victim to the fane; Some join the revel's loudest, meanest strain; Some win with sluggish toil a scanty bread, Forforc'd content by tim'rous tyrants... fed; Some rush where wants, and some where pleasures call.
And some to darker deeds: and this is all ?
No! for the dying martyrs' ev'ry word.
Some breast was there where fires unconscious stirr'd; And, for each drop that stain'd the groaning earth.
Some phosnix spirit rose in heav'nlier birth.
28 THE MARTYRDOM OF A soldier stood, to view th' nnvvonted sight ;32 A soldier, worn with many a distant fight; One of the hard, stern hearts, whom marshall'd forth The world's proud queen to bend the stubborn North: A stranger long to pain's or pity's tear.
