But hath with royal-hearted chivalry

In Shakespeare's conquests merged at last his own;

And she, a queen, but fashioned king-like, she

Before whose prows, before whose tempests, fled

Spain on the ruining night precipitately;

And that worn face, in camps and councils bred,

The guest who brought us law and liberty

Raised well-nigh from the dead;
