Well vers'd in war's alarms;

A name once not unknown to fame,

Nor unrenown'd in arms.

"O, Athelgiva! (yet too dear)

Did I thy danger know:

Yet would I fly to thy relief,

And crush th' invading foe."

With fluster'd cheek, young Edwy turn'd,

At Athelgiva's name;

And, "Gracious powers! it must be he!"
