And while their eyes are weeping their hearts are saying: "Wha will be a traitor knave? Wha can fill a coward's grave? Wha so base as be a slave? Let him turn and flee!"
Up stood then with shield the sturdy champion, stayed by the strength of his single manhood, and hardy 'neath helmet his harness bore under cleft of the cliffs: no coward's path!
