Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ...To sink beneath me. O ye dead, come near; Why see I you not yet? Come, crowd about me; Under the arch of this triumphal hour, Welcome me; I am one of you, and one That, out of love for you, have forced the doors Of the stale world. Enter Adalmar. Adalm. I'm wearied to the core; where's Amala? Ha! Near her chambers! Who? Athulf. Ask that to-morrow Of the marble, Adalmar. Come hither to me. We must be friends: I'm dying. Adalm. How? Athulf. The cup, I've drank myself immortal. Adalm. You are poisoned? Athulf. I am blessed, Adalmar. I've done't myself.

Thou should'st have lived; Devoting every minute to the work Of useful, penitent amendment: then, After long years, you might have knelt to Fate, And ta'en her blow not fearing. Wretch, thou diest not, But goest living into hell. Athulf. It is too true: I am deserted by those turbulent joys. The fiend had made me death-drunk.
