THE CHILDREN OF HENRY FIRST.
107


Woe was in England's halls that day,
    Woe in her royal towers,
While low her haughty monarch lay
    To wail his smitten flowers;
And though protracted years bestow
    Bright honour's envied store,
Yet on that crowned and lofty brow
    The smile sat never more.
