Its part performed, the guardian Saint dismissed
The needless gloom; — and every shadow hist.

And meets its falling wrath!

Insensible till now,
Their weapons clashed, and waked her charms
To motion's fevered glow.

Resigned his Arabel; —
“Have care of her for me, and thee,
“While on this miscreant's crest I tell
“Our vengeance, and his doom of hell!”
