Such was the strife, while every heart
Around them bore a trembling part.
Ah! many an eye was dimm'd of sight,
When, in the terrors of their might,
They saw the heroes grappling fast,
And deem'd each struggle was the last;
But no! They seem'd two beings framed
Not to be wounded, foil'd, or maim'd.
Around them bore a trembling part.
Ah! many an eye was dimm'd of sight,
When, in the terrors of their might,
They saw the heroes grappling fast,
And deem'd each struggle was the last;
But no! They seem'd two beings framed
Not to be wounded, foil'd, or maim'd.
