Lord Alfred, on hearing the stranger, appeased
By a something, an accent, a cadence, which pleased
His ear with that pledge of good breeding which tells
At once of the world in whose fellowship dwells
The speaker that owns it, was glad to remark
In the horseman a man one might meet after dark
Without fear.

Not unfavourably thus impress'd,
As it seem'd, with each other, the two men abreast
Rode on slowly a moment.
