Glittered, its point, as 'twere, a star of steel.—

A squire attended him; a youth, whose head

Waved many a jaunty curl; whereon a red

Cock-feathered cap shone brave: 'neath which, as keen

As some wild hawk's, his green-gray eyes were seen:

And parti-colored leather shoes he had

Upon his feet; his legs were silken clad

In hose of rarest Totness: and a spear,

Bannered and bronzen, dappled as a deer,

One hand upheld, like some bright beam of morn;
