SIR PALAMEDES, THE SARACEN KNIGHT<br />

As suddenly Hell's own disgust<br />

Eats up <strong>the</strong> joy he had of lust.<br />

<strong>The</strong> brutal glee his folly took<br />

For holy joy breaks down his brain.<br />

Off bolts <strong>the</strong> Beast: <strong>the</strong> earth is shook<br />

As out a questing roars again,<br />

As if a thirty couple hounds<br />

Are in its belly as it bounds!<br />

<strong>The</strong> peasants ga<strong>the</strong>r to deride<br />

<strong>The</strong> knight: creation joins in mirth.<br />

Ashamed and scorned on every side,<br />

<strong>The</strong>re gallops, hateful to <strong>the</strong> earth,<br />

<strong>The</strong> laughing-stock of beasts and men,<br />

Sir Palamede <strong>the</strong> Saracen.
