SIR PALAMEDES, THE SARACEN KNIGHT<br />

<strong>The</strong>y swarm, <strong>the</strong>y grow, <strong>the</strong>y multiply;<br />

<strong>The</strong> Strong knight's brain goes all a-swim,<br />

Paced by that maddening minstrelsy,<br />

Those dog-like demons hunting him.<br />

<strong>The</strong> last bar breaks; <strong>the</strong> steel will snaps;<br />

<strong>The</strong> black hordes riot in his brain;<br />

A thousand threatening thunder-claps<br />

Smite him—insane—insane—insane!<br />

His muscles roar with senseless rage;<br />

<strong>The</strong> pale knight staggers, deathly sick;<br />

Reels to <strong>the</strong> light that sorry sage,<br />

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