Excerpt from Poems: Historical and Characteristic

Then the king, Long while within himself considering The dreadful import of the dream, - in fear Lest any iron javelin, lance, or spear, Left to the clutch of clumsy Chance, should fall Ou Atys, - gave command to gather all Such weapons out of reach of him he loved, Safe in a secret chamber far removed. And, - that the menaced prince no more should take His wont i' the woods, with baying dogs to break The rough boar's ambush, nor the lion wound.
