LXXXIV.
[Æl.]Like a red meteor shall my weapon shine,
Like a strong lion-cub I'll be in fight,
62
Like loudly-dinning stream shall be my might.
Ye men, who would deserve the name of knight,
Let bloody tears by all your paves be wept;
To coming times no pencil e'er shall write,
When England had her foemen, Bristol slept.
Yourselves, your children, and your fellows cry,
Go, fight in honour's cause, be brave, and win or die.
