Chapter_18

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?
