[He girds on the sword.

This sword is somewhat lighter than the old one;

But that’s no loss—you’ll swing it, if you must,

Not outside merely ’neath unhampered heaven

Where giants at each other volley boulders,

[He draws it and swings it.

No, but in space cramped human-small, like this!

Then, Thoas, spare the pains of a third sermon,

To-day I’ve heard the second.

Thoas.
