May lurk the spirit of a knight—
A thwarted cavalier.
For some who fought at Creçy, too,
Snored on or scoffed when trumpets blew,
And presently were caught;
And when the clanking N.C.O.'s
Came round to prod them, I suppose
They up and spoke their thought.
Then they were for it; up they went
Paraded by the Prince's tent,
