I know not more: nor if the nodding prize

Of lustrous laurels ere that helm did crown,

While God yet judged him vanquished, God whose eyes

Saw how his Demon smote his Angel down

In some forgotten field and left him low.

Only the perfect hour is mine to know.

O you who forth along the highway ride,

Whose quest the whispering wood shall close around,

Be all adventure high that may betide,
