94 THE ENGLISH SLAVE. [Act V.<br />

Off I touch me not.<br />

GONDABERT.<br />

I am polluted,<br />

stained with shame and blood !<br />

To save thy life, I have confessed my guilt,<br />

And fallen from glory's height to rise no more !<br />

This is thy work, Ambition. Ha ! the morn<br />

Is dawning on me ;<br />

Look on its lovely brightness.<br />

never more shall I<br />

Fall, ye<br />

rocks !<br />

Ye mountains cover me ! It is not day<br />

Eternal flames their lurid glare spread round me.<br />

Tni lightning-smitten ! Oh, for some cooling draught<br />

To quench the fire within ! This is the balm<br />

[Stabs himself.<br />

For pangs like mine. The grave will yield repose.<br />

Edgar, for thee I die forgive<br />

me O<br />

[Gondabert joins the hands of Edgar and Elfilia,<br />

and dies. Evanda enters to Rogvalla, and all the<br />

characters form a picture as the curtain falls.
