THE LEGEND OF ST. SOPHIA. When the fierce Mosleme stormed the town, They sacked Byzantium up and down; Not even Baint Sophia stayed Their drusl all-deatroying raid; The sacred walls no shelter gave;. They rode their chargers up the nave, Trampling down with iron hoof The people gathered under its roof. And yet, in spite of startled cry, The shout of angry tooman nigh, The ring of the consecrated aton.ca Neath the horses' feat, the dying monns, The priest, who at the altar there Had just begun to chant his prayer, His prayer, unbroken, shanted on, Unmoved in dither look or tone; Ja voice so tranquil, solemn, dear, With never a shade of haste or fear, He said the holy Catholic mass. When closer still the horde drew near, He seemed neither to see nor hear, Until they pressed at left and right And quenched the candles in bis sight; And then he turned to where was spread The Rorament. He took the bread, And held the wine above his head, And with a look sublime that said

As one of old the son did know To ope a way for Israel's host, And close again when the people crossed, So now the wall did part in twain, Receive the priest, and close again; While e'er the Moslems caused to hear, From just behind the wall ancar, A voice so tranquil, solemn, clear, With never a shade of haste or fear, Repeat the holy Catholic mass.
