10 CATH-LODUINX. [Duan I.
To those that would march unto battle ;
Between him and the cowards rose
The spotted shield, dented and brown,
Like the darkening moon in the sky, 270
Or a meteor cast on a knoll.
Like a rainbow on a hill's face
Came the maiden of brightest look.
To those that would march unto battle ;
Between him and the cowards rose
The spotted shield, dented and brown,
Like the darkening moon in the sky, 270
Or a meteor cast on a knoll.
Like a rainbow on a hill's face
Came the maiden of brightest look.
