"I shall dig so as to undermine an end of one of those steel slabs that make the vault's floor, running my tunnel for the rear end of the vault. The weight of the gold will force down the slab when undermined. I'll open that vault like lifting the cover of a chest, only the cover will drop from the bottom instead of lifting from the top.
It was covered with the dust of centuries, but an inscription was seen, in which abbreviations of the words "First Admiral" could faintly be distinguished. The work was stopped at once, the doors of the cathedral were locked and all the principal persons of the city invited to attend the further investigation of the vault's contents.
Are even princes dumb? Tow'rd me scornful echoes ninefold come, Stealing through the vault's terrific gloom Sleep assails the page by slow degrees, And Madonna gives to you the keys Of her sleeping-room. Not an answer hushed and still is all Does the veil, then, e'en on monarchs fall, Which enshrouds their humble flatt'rers glance?
