Rouz’d vigorous by the morning air,

So quits the monarch stag his lair;[[52]]

With fresh fray’d beams his rival seeks;[[53]]

His meditated vengeance wreaks;

And, stamping on the mountain’s brow,

Claims homage from the vale below.

On yonder castled cliff of old,[[54]]

Needwood, how throng’d thy archers bold,

When there, for deeds of arms array’d,

His banner princely Gaunt display’d!
