Her voice was low, but it held an astonishing protective fierceness. "They they dared to hurt you!
From the wounds of the crown of thorns; from the pierced side; from the mutilated hands and feet; from the scourged body from every hand-breadth of his person streams of blood were flowing!

None save those who wish to see The noblest killed, the meanest killing, And true hearts severed from the free, Will take again the Saxon Shilling.

Oh! many a heavy burden Have sinners in Loretto's mansion laid; And Heaven's peculiar blessing breathes around The grave that has redeemed the world! The prayers Of the devout are precious fraught with store Of grace, they win forgiveness from the skies; And on the soil by gory murder stained Shall rise the purifying fane.
