(Pike, and halberd, and culverin);

She recked not of love-kiss, ne vow, ne sigh,

But her song had the ring of a battle-cry:

‘O strong is my fortress—a maid am I—

And never a foeman shall enter in.’

But it fell in an evening windy-wet,

(Hauberk, and helmet, and bascinet),

A knight drew rein ’neath the castle wall;

Proud was his port, his stature tall,

His face held the gazer’s eye in thrall,
