"Elissa; or, The Doom of Zimbabwe" from Elissa; or, The Doom of Zimbabwe; Black Heart and White Heart

Metem noted that there hung the body of a black dwarf

'I have kept faith, keep it also, Aziel'

And taking the incense he cast it into the flames

In front of this procession.. walked Elissa

'Hold!' he cried

After the priests came a second procession

Fixed through the palm of her right hand ... a little ivory-pointed arrow

'Away with you woman,' answered Aziel
