 | CHAPTER III. THIODOLF TALKETH WITH THE
WOOD-SUN.
The Collected Works of William Morris |  |
[“O Wood-Sun, thou wottest our battle and the way wherein we fare]
[Thiodolf.]“O Wood-Sun, thou wottest our battle and the way wherein we fare:
That oft at the battle's beginning the helm and the hauberk we bear;
Lest the shaft of the fleeing coward or the bow at adventure bent
Should slay us ere the need be, ere our might be given and spent.
Yet oft ere the fight is over, and Doom hath scattered the foe,
No leader of the people by his war-gear shall ye know,
But by his hurts the rather, from the cot-carle and the thrall:
For when all is done that a man may, 'tis the hour for a man to fall.”
