XI.

Think'st thou, could he--the blind old man--arise,

Like Samuel from the grave, to freeze once more

The blood of monarchs with his prophecies,

Or be alive again--again all hoar

With time and trials, and those helpless eyes,

And heartless daughters--worn--and pale--and poor:

Would _he_ adore a sultan? _he_ obey

The intellectual eunuch Castlereagh?
