Ere night lie still and cold.
Two champions here 'midst loud applause,
Have led the lists in a joint cause
On many a tourney morn,
Have fought to vanward in the field
Full many an hour, and, sternly steeled,
One banner forward borne.
And now—ah, well, as DOUGLAS old
On MARMION looked sternly cold,
So looks this Chieftain grey
