No silken courtiers slid from room to room,
Gathering together in the gorgeous gloom
Of purple hangings, drooping rich and dim;

Additional quotes by John Stanyan Bigg

For him no silver cressets shed their light,
No eager joy-bells sounded through the night From city minster, or from village tower;
No loud "hurrahs," sent from deep-chested men,
Lifted the midnight mist from off the glen
In celebration of his natal hour.
