Tho' Dymoke does—it makes him think of clattering

In iron overalls before the king,

Secure from battering, to ladies flattering,

Tuning his challenge to the gauntlets' ring—

Oh better far than all that anvil clang

It was to hear thee touch the famous string

Of Robin Hood's tough bow and make it twang,

Rousing him up, all verdant, with his clan,

Like Sagittarian Pan!
