He was flesh and blood of thine. Has thy brother's keeper laid him cold, Where the warm sun cannot shine?
"Out from the bones and the slime and the stones, Came a voice like a raven's croak: 'Was it thou, Lord Archibold Gordon? it said, 'Was it thou those words that spoke? "'I'll say them again, quoth Archibold, 'Be thou ghost or fiend of the deep. 'Lord Archibold heed how thou may'st speed, If thou sell me thy soul for sleep. "Lord Archibold laughed with a loud ha! ha!
