And Tudor’s standard with the Saxon’s head.

And high o’er all, its sealèd splendour rears

The vengeful emblem of the Dragon Kings.

Full on the Saxon bursts the storm of spears;

Far down the vale the charging whirlwind rings,

While through the ranks its barbèd knighthood clave,

All Carduel follows with its roaring wave.”
