Excerpt from Ballads and Other Poems: Original and Translated
The boume is passed cease, Paulus, cease, to weep; A gate of adamant hath barr'd the way.11. Prayer dies in echoes 'mid these gloomy bowers, And floats in vain round sullen Pluto's ear Prayer moves the Gods above th' infernal powers Nor list the suppliant voice, nor heed the tear.
