War and the Count
|
A count is due .. for men anew Swords bows knights, footmen too. This king is nation .. country's fight Save courtier, a plight in right By King, and Council's choice in time None may stay nor side in lime. There'll be no way save Divine men's say. A troop brings grave to lands astray If ready has the battle plan Field or marsh or high plained land May join the formal chivralled stage Where script will saga distant age When earth sweat blood and swallowd sword When war strode forth upon lord's word By later measure indirect . a man may peace but not neglect The better life which lease he'll tease. Which time he took by arts to fount And blooded less by love than count. |
