A prisoner in a dungeon deep	A
Sat musing silently	B
His head was rested on his hand	C
His elbow on his knee	B
Turned he his thoughts to future times	D
Or are they backward cast	E
For freedom is he pining now	F
Or mourning for the past	E
	-
No he has lived so long enthralled	G
Alone in dungeon gloom	H
That he has lost regret and hope	I
Has ceased to mourn his doom	H
	-
He pines not for the light of day	J
Nor sighs for freedom now	F
Such weary thoughts have ceased at length	K
To rack his burning brow	F
	-
Lost in a maze of wandering thoughts	L
He sits unmoving there	M
That posture and that look proclaim	N
The stupor of despair	M
	-
Yet not for ever did that mood	O
Of sullen calm prevail	P
There was a something in his eye	Q
That told another tale	P
	-
It did not speak of reason gone	R
It was not madness quite	S
It was a fitful flickering fire	T
A strange uncertain light	S
	-
And sooth to say these latter years	U
Strange fancies now and then	V
Had filled his cell with scenes of life	W
And forms of living men	V
	-
A mind that cannot cease to think	X
Why needs he cherish there	M
Torpor may bring relief to pain	Y
And madness to despair	M
	-
Such wildering scenes such flitting shapes	Z
As feverish dreams display	J
What if those fancies still increase	A2
And reason quite decay	J
	-
But hark what sounds have struck his ear	B2
Voices of men they seem	C2
And two have entered now his cell	D2
Can this too be a dream	C2
	-
'Orlando hear our joyful news	E2
Revenge and liberty	B
Your foes are dead and we are come	F2
At last to set you free '	-
	-
So spoke the elder of the two	G2
And in the captive's eyes	H2
He looked for gleaming ecstasy	B
But only found surprise	H2
	-
'My foes are dead It must be then	V
That all mankind are gone	R
For they were all my deadly foes	I2
And friends I had not one '	-
