| Cessas in vota procesque, |
| Tros, ait, Aenea, cessas? Neque enim ante dehiscent |
| Adtonitoe magna ora domus.—VIRGIL. |
| "Nay!" quoth the Sybil, "Trojan! wilt thou spare |
| The impassioned effort and the conquering prayer? |
| Nay! not save thus those doors shall open roll,— |
| That Power within them burst upon the soul." |
