As one great furnace flamed; yet from those flames
No light; but rather darkness visible
Serv'd only to discover sights of woe,

And rest can never dwell, hope never comes
That comes to all, but torture without end.

And there is little or no fun done;
Small justice shown, and still less pity.

Appears a hero in our eyes.
903
SWIFT: _Cadenus and Vanessa,_ Line 729.
To the hero, when his sword
Has won the battle for the free
Death's voice sounds like a prophet's word;
