At the appointed place, a circumstance
Of which they took no heed: but one of them, Going by chance, at night, into the house Which at this time was James's home, there learn'd That nobody had seen him all that day: The morning came, and still, he was unheard of: The neighbours were alarm'd, and to the Brook Some went, and some towards the Lake; ere noon They found him at the foot of that same Rock Dead, and with mangled limbs. The third day after I buried him, poor Lad, and there he lies. LEONARD. And that then _is_ his grave!--Before his death You said that he saw many happy years? PRIEST. Aye, that he did-- LEONARD. And all went well with him-- PRIEST. If he had one, the Lad had twenty homes. LEONARD. |
