See English Richard’s crest advance!—

Back from the lightning of his lance!

Hark! nations hail in loud accord[[57]]

His lion heart and victor sword.

Cease, cease thy boasting, clarion vain!

Truth gives my lyre a purer strain.

Blush, as thy people, haughty king,

Shout for the man thy Minstrels bring,[[58]]

And offer, with less guilty claim,

A Forest Yeoman’s humble name!
