Don Sebastian : $b or, The house of the Braganza: An historical romance. vol. 2
Porter, Anna Maria
Sebastião, King of Portugal, 1554-1578 -- Fiction
Ah little understood!
That soul refined,
That ardent heart, that piercing mind,
Those views etherial, which his purer eye
Read in their native sky,
Were deem’d but fancies vain, by souls of grosser mood.
He lived to suffer, and to give
A noble lesson how to live;
On Glory’s bed, his latest sigh,
Was breathed to teach us how to die!--
At this sentiment, so long associated with all his feelings, Sebastian’s
imagination suddenly checked itself: troubled and confused doubts, as to
so general an application of the sentiment (however just, when applied
to him who acted from a strong impulse of conscience) succeeded to his
more passionate regrets: in the midst of them, Ismael appeared.
He came to say that his master was going to retire for the night, and
waited his Christian guest.
Sebastian arose, fixed a long look on the earth which covered the brave
Englishman, and turned away. He never saw it again.
