Not illustrated. 1816 edition. Excerpt: ...of my pure race shall be "Slaves to Mahomet and thee--"Come on!"--That challenge is in vain--820 Alp's already with the slain! While Minotti's words were wreaking More revenge in bitter speaking Than his falchion's point had found, Had the time allowed to wound, 825 From within the neighbouring porch Of a long defended church, Where the last and desperate few Would the failing fight renew, The sharp shot dashed Alp to the ground; 830 Ere an eye could view the wound That crashed through the brain of the infidel, Round he spun, and down he fell; A flash like fire within his eyes Blazed, as he bent no more to rise, 83.5 And then eternal darkness sunk Through all the palpitating trunk; Nought of life left, save a quivering Where his limbs were slightly shivering: They turned him on his back; his breast 840 And brow were stained with gore and dust, And through his lips the life-blood oozed, From its deep veins lately loosed; But in his pulse there was no throb, Nor on his lips one dying sob; 845 Sigh, nor word, nor struggling breath Heralded his way to death: Ere his very thought could pray, Uuanealed he passed away, Without a hope from mercy's aid, --850 To the last a renegade.
