The foe arrives, who long had search'd the field, Their triumph nought till Lara too should yield; They would remove him, but they see 'twere vain, And he regards them with a calm disdain, That rose to reconcile him with his fate, And that escape to death from living hate: And Otho comes, and leaping from his steed, Looks on the bleeding foe that made him bleed, And questions of his state; he answers not, Scarce glances on him as on one forgot, And turns to Kaled:--each remaining word, They understood not, if distinctly heard; His dying tones are in that other tongue, To which some strange remembrance wildly clung.

Herself would question, and for him reply; Then rising, start, and beckon him to fly From some imagined spectre in pursuit; Then seat her down upon some linden's root, And hide her visage with her meagre hand, Or trace strange characters along the sand.--This could not last--she lies by him she loved; Her tale untold--her truth too dearly proved. that cannot hear!

He wandering mused, and as the moonbeam shone Through the dim lattice o'er the floor of stone, And the high fretted roof, and saints, that there O'er Gothic windows knelt in pictured prayer, Reflected in fantastic figures grew, Like life, but not like mortal life, to view; His bristling locks of sable, brow of gloom, And the wide waving of his shaken plume, Glanced like a spectre's attributes, and gave His aspect all that terror gives the grave.

Day glimmers on the dying and the dead, The cloven cuirass, and the helmless head; The war-horse masterless is on the earth, And that last gasp hath burst his bloody girth: And near, yet quivering with what life remain'd, The heel that urged him, and the hand that rein'd: And some too near that rolling torrent lie, Whose waters mock the lip of those that die; That panting thirst which scorches in the breath Of those that die the soldier's fiery death, In vain impels the burning mouth to crave One drop--the last--to cool it for the grave; With feeble and convulsive effort swept Their limbs along the crimson'd turf have crept: The faint remains of life such struggles waste, But yet they reach the stream, and bend to taste: They feel its freshness, and almost partake--Why pause?--No further thirst have they to slake-- It is unquench'd, and yet they feel it not-- It was an agony--but now forgot! 'The charge be ours! Where had that fierceness grown upon his heart? Left by his sire, too young such loss to know, Lord of himself;--that heritage of woe, That fearful empire which the human breast But holds to rob the heart within of rest!-- With none to check, and few to point in time The thousand paths that slope the way to crime; Then, when he most required commandment, then Had Lara's daring boyhood govern'd men. Kaled his name, though rumour said he bore Another ere he left his mountain shore; For sometimes he would hear, however nigh, That name repeated loud without reply, As unfamiliar, or, if roused again, Start to the sound, as but remember'd then; Unless 'twas Lara's wonted voice that spake, For then, ear, eyes, and heart would all awake. Still there was haughtiness in all he did, A spirit deep that brook'd not to be chid; His zeal, though more than that of servile hands, In act alone obeys, his air commands; As if 'twas Lara's less than hisdesire That thus he served, but surely not for hire. Search. His blade is bared--in him there is an air As deep, but far too tranquil for despair; A something of indifference more than then Becomes the bravest, if they feel for men.

Their words though faint were many — from the tone Their import those who heard could judge alone; From this, you might have deem'd young Kaled's death More near than Lara's by his voice and breath, So sad, so deep, and hesitating broke The accents his scarce-moving pale lips spoke; But Lara's voice, though low, at first was clear And calm, till murmuring death gasp'd hoarsely near: But from his visage little could we guess, So unrepentant, dark, and passionless, Save that when struggling nearer to his last, Upon that page his eye was kindly cast; And once, as Kaled's answering accents ceased, Rose Lara's hand, and pointed to the East: Whether (as then the breaking sun from high Roll'd back the clouds) the morrow caught his eye, Or that 'twas chance, or some remember'd scene That raised his arm to point where such had been, Scarce Kaled seem'd to know, but turn'd away, As if his heart abhorr'd that coming day, And shrunk his glance before that morning light To look on Lara's brow — where all grew night.

A chamber tenantless, a steed at rest, His host alarm'd, his murmuring squires distress'd: Their search extends along, around the path, In dread to met the marks of prowlers' wrath: But none are there, and not a brake hath borne Nor gout of blood, nor shred of mantle torn; Nor fall nor struggle hath defaced the grass, Which still retains a mark where murder was; Nor dabbling fingers left to tell the tale, The bitter print of each convulsive nail, When agonised hands that cease to guard, Wound in that pang the smoothness of the sward.
