THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 25, by                    
First Line: Surprised, out-flank'd by this new-breathed force
Last Line: Than the soft clash and chime of closing swords!
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Fights; Knights & Knighthood; Swords


Surprised, out-flank'd by this new-breathed force,
The invaders an unequal combat wage;
Sir Eliduc spurr'd at their cluster'd horse,
And thrust upon the Prince his battle-gage.
Now, both unsaddled, each hath swift recourse
To shorter weapons, husbanding his rage.
No sweeter sound the warrior's life affords
Than the soft clash and chime of closing swords!
