HEROICALLY MEASURED. - ZaunköniG - 17.12.2012 Vouch not the pow'r of chivalry 's decay'd With the tourney and the ladye has flown, Are there not breasts that its inspirings own Where inward stars of honour are display 'd? Tho' possessing not th* adventitious aid Of custom, the self-constituted laws Gain more than the transitory applause Of him who triumph'd with the champion's blade, With Acre's Hero was the chasten'd style Somewhat reviving th' ancient mttitaire, Appreciation show'd that the surprise Testified it was as his valour — rare : — Will not repressing conscious puissance dare More than the boaster whose profession lies? |
