Columba raised his hand on high,
About to make sublime reply;
But Eric to his trumpets' blare
Wheel'd off, and left the father there,
Like statue raised by wizard charm,
With open mouth—with out-stretched arm—
Forehead uplifted to the sky,
And beard projecting potently.
About to make sublime reply;
But Eric to his trumpets' blare
Wheel'd off, and left the father there,
Like statue raised by wizard charm,
With open mouth—with out-stretched arm—
Forehead uplifted to the sky,
And beard projecting potently.
