Henceforth shall they know thee only
As the Knight of the Golden Mane.
The steed that hath borne thee hither
Henceforward thine own shall be,
And when thou art grown to fit it
Mine armor I’ll give to thee.”
Then to the servitors turning—
“Unbind him without delay,
Tho’ these chains were a badge of honor
And clanked in his praise to-day.”
