A NEW POEM BY LONGFELLO SCANDERBEG. ‘The battle is fought and won By King Ladisiaus the Hun. In fire of hell and death's frost, ‘On the day of Pentecost; And in rout before bis path From the field of battle red Fiee all that are not dead Of the army of Amurath. In the darkness of the night Iskander, the pride and boast Of that mighty Othman bost, With bis routed Turks, takes flight From the battle fought and lost On the day of Pentecost; Leaving bim dead ‘The arm: 4 ‘The vanguard as n The rearguard as it Hex M the bloody aftermath. But he cared not for Hospodars, Nor for Baron or Veivode As on through the night he rode, And gazed at the fatal stars ‘That were shining overhead; But smote his stecd with his stat’, And smiled to himself and said: « This is the time to laugh. In the middie of the night, In a halt of the hurrying flight, There came a Scribe of the king ‘Wearing this negis i And sald ina vel * ‘This is the first dark Ou thy name Alas! why art th And the army of A And left on the of horses trod; Bat this was the Of the watchers ove For the war belongeth And in battle who are we Who are we, that shall withstand ‘The wind of his lifted hand?” ‘Then he bade them bind with chains} ‘This man of books and brains; Anil the Scribe said: «* What misdeed Have I done, that without ‘Thou doest to me this thing?” And Iskander answering ‘id unto him: “* Not one indeed to me bh But for fear tha And hire thyself from me, Have I done this unto thee. “ Now write me a writing, 0 Scribe, And a blessing be on thy tribe! A writing sealed with thy ring, To King Amurah Pasha In the city of Croia, The city moated and That he surrender tl © In the name of my master, the King; For what is writ in Can never be recalled.” Ane th © bowed low in dread, And uy ler said; oy t and just We are but ashes ane dust! How shall I do this thing, n [know that my guilty head Will be forfeit to the King?” ‘Then swift as a shooting star The carves ning blate Of Iskander’s scimitar From its sheath, with jewels bright, “Wei ac fire apart, tthe miinig! nis forehead white and b And the chill of death in his he art. ‘Then again Iskander cried; And even as he spoke Felt scimitar stro!
