II.

God.
I know thy sprite full well; gentle thou art,
Strong, dreadful, rough, as smoking armies seem;
Yet oft, I fear, thy heat's too great a part,
And that thy counsel's oft born down by breme.
What tidings from the king?

Har.
His Normans know;
I make no comrade of the shimmering train.

God.
Ah Harold! 'tis a sight of mickle woe,
To know these Normans every glory gain.
What tidings with the folk?
