“Well have I passed the night: thy feast

Gave joy to every man and beast;

And I, great lord, and every peer

Were satisfied with sumptuous cheer,

Thy banquet has delighted all

From highest chief to meanest thrall,

And rich attire and drink and meat

Banished the thought of toil and heat.

And now, O Hermit good and great,

A boon of thee I supplicate.
