    XIII
    With the country ablaze to his young bride says he
    This conflagarations for you and for me
    We have more than a thousand miles yet to go
    And thicker and higher those fires shall grow
    XIV

    Until things settle down we'll go back o'er the sea

    And she never more sought for the Lord of Benbo
