Subject(s): Fights
Sir Eliduc, now raised to highest trust
And charged with the defences of the realm,
Cared little for the seals upon him thrust,
So that his foes he might betimes o'erwhelm.
One face before him fired the battle's lust,
Delay he found in each opposing helm—
Deep to the chin he clove with trenchant steel
Any that cross'd his wing'd and fiery zeal!
