Yet, as echoed the battle cry, And down set the fiery sun Above weapon clashing on with weapon, Felled he was by stroke twenty-one. What lack did he, that man Who roused all men and child? And brought into the confines of tamed All that once roamed wild? What lack did he, that man, Spelled whose name did power? Tall and strong who stood, But could gently handle a flower? Alas! For him the enemy went By the name of arrogance, Rising from which carelessness Undid his final stance.
