Then blackly bordered. And above his robe

That two-edged sword,—a throbbing golden globe

Of vicious jewels,—thrust its burning hilt,

Its broad belt, tawny and with gold-work gilt,

Clasped with the eyelid of a black sea-horse

Whose tongue was rosy gold. And stern as Force

His visored helmet burned like fire, of rich

And bronzen laton hammered; and on which

An hundred crystals glittered, thick as on

A silver web bright-studding dews of dawn.
