the King a secret word.

      Fall battleaxe, and flash brand! Let the King reign.

      'Blow trumpet! he will lift us from the dust.

      Blow trumpet! live the strength and die the lust!

      Clang battleaxe, and clash brand! Let the King reign.

      'Strike for the King and die! and if thou diest,

      The King is King, and ever wills the highest.

      Clang battleaxe, and clash brand! Let the King reign.

      'Blow, for our Sun is mighty in his May!

      Blow, for our Sun is mightier day by day!

      Clang battleaxe, and clash brand! Let the King reign.

      'The King will follow Christ, and we the King

      In whom high God hath breathed a secret thing.

      Fall battleaxe, and flash brand! Let the King reign.'

      So sang the knighthood, moving to their hall.

      There at the banquet those great Lords from Rome,

      The slowly-fading mistress of the world,

      Strode in, and claimed their tribute as of yore.

      But Arthur spake, 'Behold, for these have sworn

      To wage my wars, and worship me their King;

      The old order changeth, yielding place to new;

      And we that fight for our fair father Christ,

      Seeing that ye be grown too weak and old

      To drive the heathen from your Roman wall,

      No tribute will we pay:' so those great lords

      Drew back in wrath, and Arthur strove with Rome.

      And Arthur and his knighthood for a space

      Were all one will, and through that strength the King

      Drew in the petty princedoms under him,

      Fought, and in twelve great battles overcame

      The heathen hordes, and made a realm and reigned.
