“Long on that day shall minstrels dwell;“The harp”—heroic Edward cried,
“The harp to other times shall tell
“That mask'd in honour of my bride,
“Like peers and paladins renown'd
“Who Arthur's feasts at Camelot crown'd,
“England and France in Edward's sight
“Rivals of glory, grac'd the fight.
“England shall Arthur's fame maintain,
“France the renown of Charlemagne.
“Strike, harpers—minstrels! tune the rhymes
“To Arthur's consecrated times.”
