" Open me h e r e , " h e cried, •• t h i s treasure c h e s t "
T w o s done, snd only a w o r n s h e p h e r d ' s vest
Was f o u n d within. S o m e blushed a n d h u n g the head.
Not Dara ; open as the s k y ' s blue roof
H e stood, a n d '• 0 my lord, behold the proof
That I was faithful t o my t r u s t , " ho said.
" To g o v e r n m e n , lo, all the spell I h a d !
My »oul in tlicsfc rude vestment^ ever clad
Mil! to the unstained past k e p t t r u e and ^-al.
Still on these p l a i n s could b r e a t h e her m o u n t a i n a i r .
And f o r t u n e ' s h e a v i e s t gifts serenely bear.
W h i c h bend inen f r o m t h e i r t m t h and make them reel.
F o r r n l i n g wi«ely I should h a v e small skill.
Were I not lord of simple Dara still ;
That sceptre kept, T could not lose my w a y . "
S t r a n g e dew iu royal eyes grew round and' b r i g h t .
And stained the t h r o b b i n g lids : before 'twas nig
night
Two added p r o v i n c e s blest Dara's sway.
