MARMION.
Of Ascapart, and Bevis bold,And that Red King, who, while of old, 315Through Boldrewood the chase he led,By his loved huntsman's arrow bled—Ytene's oaks have heard againRenew'd such legendary strain;For thou hast sung, how He of Gaul, 320That Amadis so famed in hall,For Oriana, foil'd in fightThe Necromancer's felon might;And well in modern verse hast wovePartenopex's mystic love; 325Hear, then, attentive to my lay,A knightly tale of Albion's elder day.
