HERNANI

Cistercians might crack their sides

With laughter, and exemption get,

At sight of heroes clasping brides,

And hearing — O the horn! the horn!

The horn of their obstructive debt!

But quit the stage, that note applies

For sermons cosmopolitan,

Hernani. Have we filched our prize,

Forgetting...? O the horn! the horn!

The horn of the Old Gentleman!
