Thus Eliduc won honour of the king,
And many a doughty deed thereafter wrought.
Yet in his mind did no soft impulse spring
To view this later Helen all men sought,
As tho' fate warn'd him of sweet communing
With one whose beauty with such ills was fraught.
And much she marvell'd that he never came,
Who in her cause had won undying fame.
