Look not for gratitude from mortal Prince:
Sir Eliduc had served his liege-lord well,
Like one who would by deeds alone convince,
Not by what braggart tongue might lightly tell.
Rebellion under him did writhe and wince,
And for too great a loyalty—he fell!
Envy hath audience swift of royal ears,
Suspicion never slumbers, never spares!
