Naddo reciting that same luckless ode,

Doleful to hear. Sordello could explore

By means of it, however, one step more

In joy; and, mastering the round at length,

Learnt how to live in weakness as in strength,

When from his covert forth he stood, addressed

Eglamor, bade the tender ferns invest,

Primæval pines o'ercanopy his couch,

And, most of all, his fame—(shall I avouch

Eglamor heard it, dead though he might look,
