Poems of Lord Byron — Volume 7 by Lord Byron, Ernest Hartley Coleridge
Windsor Poetics
Famed for contemptuous breach of sacred ties, By headless Charles see heartless Henry lies; Between them stands another sceptred thing— It moves, it reigns—in all but name, a king:
Charles to his people, Henry to his wife, —In him the double tyrant starts to life: Justice and Death have mixed their dust in vain, Each royal Vampire wakes to life again. Ah, what can tombs avail!—since these disgorge The blood and dust of both—to mould a George.
