Then by the King the gold-clad man
Sat, Gregory dreamed, and soon began
Great marvels of far lands to tell,
And said at last:
“Ye serve me well,
And strange things therefore will I show,
Wonders that none save ye may know;
That ye this stormy night may call

A joyful tide in kingly hall,
A night to be rememberèd.”
