HAROLD THE DAUNTLESS.
Canto I.
And the red flash of lightning shew'd where there layHis master, Lord Harold, outstretch'd on the clay.
XVII.Up he started, and thunder'd out, "Stand!"And raised the club in his deadly hand.The flaxen-hair'd Gunnar his purpose told,Shew'd the palfrey and proffer'd the gold."Back, back, and home, thou simple boy!Thou can'st not share my grief or joy:Have I not mark'd thee wail and cryWhen thou hast seen a sparrow die?
