TO A PICTURE
of pierre de cornillan, grand master of the knights hospitallers, in a painter's studio.
What dost thou here, old knight?
With thine armour on, and thy casque laid by;
To the field! to the field! where the valiant fight,
And brave men meet to die.
This is no place for thee!
The sound of the bugle should greet thine ear;
Hie, hie where thy banner is waving free!
Why art thou lingering here?
The sound of the bugle should greet thine ear;
Hie, hie where thy banner is waving free!
Why art thou lingering here?
