And the Prophets answered, Nay, nor shall the calamity cease, and the curse be completed, till a green tree be sundered in twain, and the part cut off be carried away; yet move, of itself, to the ancient trunk, unite to the stem, bud out with the blossom, and stretch forth its fruit.' So said the monks, and even now, ere I spoke, I saw them again, there, standing mute, and, with the paleness of dead men, by the side of my bed!'

Suddenly that eye altered in its cold beam; suddenly the voice changed its deliberate accent; the grey hairs seemed to bristle erect, the whole face to work with horror; the arms stretched forth, the form writhed on the couch, distorted fragments from the older Testament rushed from the lips: Sanguelac! Sanguelac!-the Lake of Blood,' shrieked forth the dying King, 'the Lord hath bent his bow, the Lord hath bared his sword. He comes down as a warrior to war, and his wrath is in the steel and the flame. He boweth the mountains and comes down, and darkness is under his feet!'

"As if revived but for these tremendous denunciations, as the last word left his lips the frame collapsed, the eyes set, and the King fell a corpse in the arms of Harold."

This fine Romance entwines another and not the least verdant laurel in Sir Edward's wreath of fame.
