Itself unchanged amid a world new-made,

And men should say, in that fair after-time,

'The old Order sticketh, yielding place to none.'"

So be. Whereat that other held his peace,

Seeming, for courtesy, to yield assent.

But, as within the lists at Camelot

Some temporary knight mislays his seat

And falls, and, falling, lets his morion loose,

And lights upon his head, and all the spot

Swells like a pumpkin, and he hides the bulge
