Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Great Britain - History; English History
And over all the bearing of the host,
That perfect blending of good sense and pride,—
That breed of Barons, once the exalted boast
Of Britain, now transmuted in the tide
Of noble lineage to mere gold allied,—
Courteous and kind, with that attendant grace
That is the sure presentment of his race.
