CONSTANTINE PALEOLOGUS;
For then in them it shews th' approving world
The worth of its best work.
And from their fate a glorious lesson springs;
A lesson of such high ennobling power;
Connecting us with such exalted things
As all do feel, but none with such true force,
Such joy, such triumph, as a dying man.
(Falling back into the arms of Rodrigo.)
FINIS.
