Surely tho young man will take leave; but, Molay,
Relieve me I am much forewarned of Robert
Tluit God lias greatness yet in store for him.
WhiUt hero leforo tho gracious form I knelt,
It ha[i|eued that I in the crystal looked
Whereon shines back tho Virgin's radial crown ;
Sudden, it seemed, I in that mirror saw
Our Robert, and by his side, an angel, garbed
In heavenly bluo. And they were radiant both
As though the Light of Glory lit them up.1
I saw htm also in my dreams last night,
Girt up ns simple handicraftsmen aro;
When suddenly ho stood before me there,
In form gigantic ; with his head ho touched
High Heaven, nnd with his foot earth's central point :
Kmbrnced tho world from east to west, and cried
" Nnturc irradiates and serves the Pure."
MOLAT.
It was a dream !—
COMMANDER. No doubt, but yet, God mend it ! I'd fain interpret it!—
