SIR PALAMEDES, THE SARACEN KNIGHT<br />

The Me with Thou; then swift the quest<br />

To slay the Me should hook the Thou.”<br />

With that he crossed him, brow and breast,<br />

And flung his body from the prow.<br />

An end? Alas! on silver sand<br />

Open his eyes; the surf-rings roar.<br />

What snorts there, swimming from the land?<br />

The Beast that brought him to the shore!<br />

“O Beast!” quoth purple Palamede,<br />

“A monster strange as Thou am I.<br />

I could not live before, indeed;<br />

And not I cannot even die!<br />

Who chose me, of the Table Round<br />

By miracle acclaimed the chief?<br />

Here, waterlogged and muscle-bound,<br />

Marooned upon a coral reef!”
