King Eiden stepp'd across the space,
With scowl portentous on his face;
And in the midst of all his kin
He clove the chieftain to the chin.
“If more such speeches be to say,
We'll hear them out some other day.
This moment's ours—the next, I wis,
Is his who best improveth this.”
He said, and, heaving his claymore,
Resumed the stand he held before.
With scowl portentous on his face;
And in the midst of all his kin
He clove the chieftain to the chin.
“If more such speeches be to say,
We'll hear them out some other day.
This moment's ours—the next, I wis,
Is his who best improveth this.”
He said, and, heaving his claymore,
Resumed the stand he held before.
