By road, a matter of several miles.”

And shook it forth with a royal will.
Shoot, if you must, this old gray head,
But spare your countrys flag, she said.
A shade of sadness, a blush of shame,
Over the face of the leader came;”

Like the fierce fiend of a distempered dream,
And shook him from his rest, and led him forth
Into the darkness.”
