214 A SEQUEL TO XXV, “Oh! no !—it were impossible to say To one so youthful, ‘ The Tomb yawns for thee !’ No—he must flourish still for many a day, | The beautiful—the kind—the brave—the free ! Those features must not yet return to clay, Nor close the eyes that have shone poe ie on me. Oh! no—it is impossible! I rave— | He is not destined for an early grave ' XXXVI. “‘ Say, sir—for thou hast power—he shall not die ! Say that he yet shall be restored to those Who love him !—By the God that rules on high, Thee I adjure—and He all secrets knows— Do not that useless deed of cruelty ! Spare him—and take the life of her who throws Herself upon thy mercy !—Hear my prayer: Heavens ! does it want an effort, then, fo spare ? XX VII. “Oh! didst thou come to me and ask the life Of my most bitter enemy—didst thou Seek to redeem from the avenging knife E’en those who cause such grief as rends me now,— Not for one moment would my passion’s strife Sway my resolve ; but cheerfully ’'d bow To the dictates of mercy !— Once again, Let me not ask for mercy, then, in vain !”’ Comichooks;com
