And Galahad and Tristram, Accolon:

And then, ah God! of his loved Guenevere:

And with that thought—to starve 'mid horrors here!—

For, being unfriend to Arthur and his Court,

Well knew he this grim Earl would bless that sport

Of fortune which had fortuned him so well

As t' have his King to starve within a cell,

In the entombing rock beside the deep.—

And all the life, large in his limbs, did leap

Through eager veins and sinews, fierce and red,
