Roused by the sudden sight at such a time, And some foreboding that it might be crime, Himself unheeded, watch’d the stranger’s course, Who reach’d the river, bounded from his horse, And lifted thence the burthen which he bore, Heaved up the bank, and dash’d it from the shore. Illustration to Byron’s Lara after a painting by S. J. E. Jones. From The Byron gallery; a series of historical embellishments, illustrating the poetical works of Lord Byron. London, 1844.

Roused by the sudden sight at such a time,
And some foreboding that it might be crime,
Himself unheeded, watch’d the stranger’s course,
Who reach’d the river, bounded from his horse,
And lifted thence the burthen which he bore,
Heaved up the bank, and dash’d it from the shore.
