    And lifts the sparkling cup on high;
    "I drink to one," he said,
    "Whose image never may depart,
    Deep graven on this grateful heart,
    Till memory be dead."

    St. Leon paused, as if he would
    Not breathe her name in careless mood
    Thus lightly to another;
    Then bent his noble head, as though
    To give the word the reverence due,
    And gently said, "My mother!"

And let the kettle to the trumpet speak,
The trumpet to the cannoneer without,
The cannons to the heavens, the heaven to earth,
'Now the king drinks to Hamlet.'
