And then the knights on Guyon turned
Their fixed gaze, and shudder'd now;
For fmother'd fury feem'd to bring
The dew drops on his brow.

But from the Ladie in the veil
Their eyes they could not long withdraw;
And when they tried to speak, that glare
Still kept them mute with awe :

Each wish'd to roufe his failing heart,
Yet look'd and trembled all the while;
All, till the midnight clock had toll'd
Its fummons from the fouthern aisle:
And when the last dull ftroke had rung
And left behind its deepening knell;
The Ladie rofe, and filled with wine,
Filled to the brim the sparkling shell.
And to the alarmed guests the turn'd;
No breath was heard, no voice, no found;
And in a tone fo deadly deep
She pledged them all around,

That in their hearts and thro' their limbs
No pulfes could be found.

And when their fenfes back return'd
They gazed upon the steps of stone
On which the dark Ladie had stood,
They gazed,—but she was gone!
Then Guyon rofe,-and ah! to reft
When every weary knight was led,
After what they had seen and heard
What wonder flumber fled !

For often as they turn'd to rest,
And fleep prefs'd down each heavy eye,
Before them, in her black veil wrapt,
They faw the dark Ladie-

And then the voice, the tone that stopt
Thro' all their limbs the rufhing blood,
The cup which she had filled with wine,
The fteps on which the flood;

The found, the tone-no human voice
Could ever reach that echo deep;
And ever as they turn'd to reft
It roufed them from fleep!-

The morning dawns,-the knights are met;
And feated in the arched hall;
And fome were loud, and fome spoke low
But Huart none at all!-

"Doft not remember well, cries one,
When wide the facred banners flew,
And when beneath the bleffed cross
The infidels we flew ;

This fame Sir Guyon erft fo brave,
In fight who ever led the van!
Soon as the bleffed cross he saw,
Grew pale, and trembled then:
"And as the kneeling knights ador'd,
And wept around that holy place!

O God! I've feen the big drops burst
For hours upon his face!
"And when I nam'd the bleffed name,
His face became as livid clay,
And on his foamy lips the founds
Unutter'd died away

"But O! that Ladie! Huart cries,
That Ladie with the long black veil!
This morn I heard !-I hear it still,
The lamentable tale!

I hear the hoary headed man!
I kept him till the morning dawn;
For five unbroken hours he talk'd-
With me they were as one,

"He told me how he had liv'd long
Within this caftle on the fea;
But peace, O Heaven! he never had
Since he faw the dark Ladie!

'Twas chill, he said, a hazy night,
Juft as the light began to fail,
Sir Guyon came, and brought with him
The Ladie in the veil:

"Yes! to this caftle on the fea,
The wild furge dafhing on its base,
He brought her in that frightful veil
That ever hides her face;

And many a time, he faid, he tried
That ftill uncovered face to fee;
At eve and morn, at noon and night,
But ftill it could not be !

"Till once! But O! that glaring eye
It dried the life-blood working here!
And when he turn'd to look again
The Ladie was not near!

"But fometimes thro' her curtain'd tower
A ftrange uncoloured light was feen,
And fomething of unearthly hue
Still paffed on between.

"And then aloof its clafped hands
Were wrung and toffed to and fro,
And founds came forth, dull, deep, and wild;
And O! how deadly flow!-
"He told me, that at laft he heard
Some ftory, how this poor Ladie
Had left, alas! her husband's home,
With this dread knight to flee:

"And how her finking heart recoil'd,
And how her throbbing bofom beat,
And how fenfation almost left
Her cold convulfed feet:

"And how the clafp'd her little fon
Before the tore herself away,
And how she turned again to blefs
The cradle where he lay!

"But where Sir Guyon took her then
Ah! none could ever hear or know,
