SIR PALAMEDES, THE SARACEN KNIGHT<br />

He strains and strives in very deed,<br />

So that at last a boulder trips<br />

The hero, that he bursts a-bleed,<br />

And sanguine from his bearded lips<br />

The torrent of his being breaks.<br />

The Beast is gone: the hero slips<br />

Down to the valley: he forsakes<br />

The fond idea (every bone<br />

In all his body burns and aches)<br />

By speed to attain the dear Unknown,<br />

By force to achieve the great Beyond.<br />

Yet from that brain may spring full-grown<br />

Another folly just as fond.<br />
