| - | |
| - | |
| Poor foolish monarch vacillating vain | B |
| Decaying victim of a race of kings | C |
| Swift Destiny shook out her purple wings | C |
| And caught him in their shadow not again | D |
| Could furtive plotting smear another stain | B |
| Across his tarnished honour Smoulderings | C |
| Of sacrificial fires burst their rings | C |
| And blotted out in smoke his lost domain | B |
| Bereft of courtiers only with his queen | E |
| From empty palace down to empty quay | A |
| No challenge screamed from hostile carabine | E |
| A single vessel waited shadowy | A |
| All night she ploughed her solitary way | F |
| Beneath the stars and through a tranquil sea | A |
