SIR PALAMEDES, THE SARACEN KNIGHT
How weak Sir Palamedes grows!
We hear no more of bouts and blows!
His weapons are his ten good toes!
He that was Arthur's peer, good knight
Proven in many a foughten fight,
Flees like a felon in the night!
Ay! this thy quest is past the ken
Of thee and of all mortal men,
Sir Palamede the Saracen !
