Tongued red with gold, and carved of walrus' bone.

And, sapphire-set, a burgonet of gold,—

Whereon a wyvern sprawled, whose jaws unrolled

A tongue of garnet agate, of great prize;

Incased his head and visor-barred his eyes.

And in his hand a wiry lance of ash,

Lattened with sapphire silver, like a flash,

A splinter of sunlight, in the morning's zeal
