No nobler hero could I bring Than Britain’s pure and gentle king. Brighter than all, his spotless name Shines on his country’s scroll of fame. A thousand years his bones are dust, Yet men still name him as the Just. A hundred kings have ruled his state, Yet him alone she names—The Great. To him, her noblest praise she sings, As mightiest of her mighty kings.” |
