Narrative poems on the Female Character | ||
XLII. THE SENTENCE.
“Blanch of Aledo! murderess foul!In pity to thy sinful soul,
And for thou art our uncle's heir,
Thy life—murderess! thy life we spare;
57
Thy wealth is forfeit to the crown;
Thy lands, thy vassals, and thy home:
And thou, proscrib'd and spurn'd, shalt roam.
No tongue shall speak the name thou bearest!
No hand shall touch the robe thou wearest!
No ear shall listen to thy call!
The roof that shelters thee shall fall!
The man who succours thee shall die!
Hence, murderess, hence! repent, and fly!”
