CXXXV.
Ber.All blessings may the saints unto you give!
All pleasure may your lengthened livings be!
Ælla, when knowing that by you I live,
Will think too small a gift the land and sea.
O Celmond! I may deftly read by thee,
What ill betideth the enfoulèd kind.
May not thy cross-stone of thy crime bewree!
May all men know thy valour, few thy mind!
Soldier! for such thou art in noble fray,
I will thy goings 'tend, and do thou lead the way.
