THOMAS DE CAMBERNON for Hastings' field
Left Normandy; his tower saw him no more!
And no crusader's war-horse plumed and steeled
Paws the grass now at Modbury's blazoned door;
No lettered marble nor ancestral shield, --
Where all the Atlantic shakes the lonesome shore,
Lies ours forgotten; only cobble-stones
To tell us where are Champernowne's poor bones.
