 | Poems by Sir Alfred C. Lyall |  |
4.
And when he gave his son bequest(For conscience sake and kingdom's good)
“Give Joab's age no peaceful rest
But bring his grey hairs down in blood.”
Small need had David to be told
94
For he and I are comrades old,
And whether in the days of Saul
At bay upon the rugged heights
By all the army's strength assailed,
Or in the fierce Philistian fights,
He knew my heart had never quailed.
