Subject(s): Fights; Knights & Knighthood
Now happen'd it as Eliduc foresaw—
The assault was press'd with never-wavering zeal.
Nathless in that defence nor breach nor flaw
Could the besieger find, nor lodgment steal.
While they, with burning pitch, did overawe
The foe that thro' the blinding smoke-rift reel:
Wave upon wave with backward hiss withdrew,
Yet higher still the next its storm-crests threw!
