Subject(s): Knights & Knighthood; Love
What of his knighthood, and his knightly vow?
What of his troth to deep oblivion thrust?
What of a pride that not the world could bow?
What of his honour, trampled in the dust?
What clemency must Charity allow
If Love the tender scales of faith adjust!
His wife's bedimm'd and desolated face
Now to a pale and crescent moon gives place.
