SIR PALAMEDES, THE SARACEN KNIGHT<br />

As suddenly Hell's own disgust<br />

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

The brutal glee his folly took<br />

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

Off bolts the Beast: the 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 />

The peasants gather to deride<br />

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

Ashamed and scorned on every side,<br />

There gallops, hateful to the earth,<br />

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

Sir Palamede the Saracen.
