HE DRAGON.XXIV. The Saracen boasts courage tried, Obedience is the Christians pride ; And where our Saviour, great and holy, Roamd like a pilgrim, poor and lowly, The Father of our Order taught The followers, who his conquests wrought, The duty first to be completed, Was, that self-will should be defeated. Vain-glory thou hast sought to share :Away, then, from my sight!—I warn them, Who the Lords yoke refuse to bear,With the Lords cross shall neer adorn them XXV. The peoples tumult, uncontrolld, Like storm through all the structure rolld. For mercy prayd the holy brethren : The youth lookd down, and silent gathering His robe, laid it aside; then bent To kiss the Masters hand—and went. The Master, who had thus subdued him, Recalld him, as his eye pursued him ; And cried : — Embrace me, worthy son :Thou now hast gaind a fight more glorious ! The cross by humbleness is won :—Tis thine, since oer thyself victorious ! Tili; INI). LONDON: PRINTED BY S. AND R. BENTLEY, DORSET STREET.
