Slow moves the plumed hearse, the mourning train, I mark the sad procession with a sigh, Silently passing to that village fane, Where, HAROLD, thy forefathers mouldering lie; There sleeps THAT MOTHER, who, with tearful eye Pondering the fortunes of thy early road, Hung o'er the slumbers of thine infancy; Her Son, released from mortal labour's load, Now comes to rest, with her, in the same still abode.

Those who are curious in this matter are referred to d'Haussonville's Vie de Mme. de La Fayette, where the whole controversy is summed up in the following words: "Une chose est certaine: c'est qu'il faut renoncer désormais
But no mortal man is living, how strong so e'er in his youth, who shall lightly hale it elsewhere, since a mighty wonder forsooth is wrought in that fashioned bedstead, and I wrought it, and I alone.
