Hard put was Eliduc to hold in check
Hour by long hour the temper of his band.
Yet, that no stain their after-glory fleck,
On straining leash they listed his command,
Not doubting of the vengeance they would wreak
When he should bid them forth with leaping brand.
Then, as slow day to swifter evening wore,
His voice rang out above the battle's roar.
