He had spoken evil of me�察�thy just wrath
Sent me a three´years' exile from thine eyes。
I have not lived my life delightsomely��
For I that did that violence to thy thrall��
Had often wrought some fury on myself��
Saving for Balan�此 �those three kingless years
Have pastwere wormwood´bitter to me。 King��
Methought that if we sat beside the well��
And hurled to ground what knight soever spurred
Against us�察�thou would'st take me gladlier back��
And make�察�as ten´times worthier to be thine
Than twenty Balins�察�Balan knight。 I have said。
Not sonot all。 A man of thine today
Abashed us both�察�and brake my boast。 Thy will��'
Said Arthur 'Thou hast ever spoken truth��
Thy too fierce manhood would not let thee lie。
Rise�察�my true knight。 As children learn�察�be thou
Wiser for falling� �walk with me�察�and move
To music with thine Order and the King。
Thy chair�察�a grief to all the brethren�察�stands
Vacant�察�but thou retake it�察�mine again��'
Thereafter�察�when Sir Balin entered hall��
The Lost one Found was greeted as in Heaven
With joy that blazed itself in woodland wealth
Of leaf�察�and gayest garlandage of flowers��
Along the walls and down the board�察�they sat��
And cup clashed cup�察�they drank and some one sang��
Sweet´voiced�察�a song of welcome�察�whereupon
Their common shout in chorus�察�mounting�察�made
Those banners of twelve battles overhead
Stir�察�as they stirred of old�察�when Arthur's host
Proclaimed him Victor�察�and the day was won。
Then Balan added to their Order lived
A wealthier life than heretofore with these
And Balin�察�till their embassage returned。
'Sir King' they brought report 'we hardly found��
So bushed about it is with gloom�察�the hall
Of him to whom ye sent us�察�Pellam�察�once
A Christless foe of thine as ever dashed
Horse against horse�察�but seeing that thy realm
Hath prospered in the name of Christ�察�the King
Took�察�as in rival heat�察�to holy things��
And finds himself descended from the Saint
Arimathaean Joseph�察�him who first
Brought the great faith to Britain over seas��
He boasts his life as purer than thine own��
Eats scarce enow to keep his pulse abeat��
Hath pushed aside his faithful wife�察�nor lets
Or dame or damsel enter at his gates
Lest he should be polluted。 This gray King
Showed us a shrine wherein were wondersyea
Rich arks with priceless bones of martyrdom��
Thorns of the crown and shivers of the cross��
And therewithal ��for thus he told us�� brought
By holy Joseph thither�察�that same spear
Wherewith the Roman pierced the side of Christ。
He much amazed us�察�after�察�when we sought
The tribute�察�answered ;I have quite foregone
All matters of this world�此 �Garlon�察�mine heir��
Of him demand it�察─�which this Garlon gave
With much ado�察�railing at thine and thee。
'But when we left�察�in those deep woods we found
A knight of thine spear´stricken from behind��
Dead�察�whom we buried�察�more than one of us
Cried out on Garlon�察�but a woodman there
Reported of some demon in the woods
Was once a man�察�who driven by evil tongues
From all his fellows�察�lived alone�察�and came
To learn black magic�察�and to hate his kind
With such a hate�察�that when he died�察�his soul
Became a Fiend�察�which�察�as the man in life
Was wounded by blind tongues he saw not whence��
Strikes from behind。 This woodman showed the cave
From which he sallies�察�and wherein he dwelt。
We saw the hoof´print of a horse�察�no more。'
Then Arthur�察�'Let who goes before me�察�see
He do not fall behind me�此 �foully slain
And villainously� �who will hunt for me
This demon of the woods��' Said Balan�察�'I'��
So claimed the quest and rode away�察�but first��
Embracing Balin�察�'Good my brother�察�hear��
Let not thy moods prevail�察�when I am gone
Who used to lay them� �hold them outer fiends��
Who leap at thee to tear thee�察�shake them aside��
Dreams ruling when wit sleeps� �yea�察�but to dream
That any of these would wrong thee�察�wrongs thyself。
Witness their flowery welcome。 Bound are they
To speak no evil。 Truly save for fears��
My fears for thee�察�so rich a fellowship
Would make me wholly blest�此 �thou one of them��
Be one indeed�此 �consider them�察�and all
Their bearing in their common bond of love��
No more of hatred than in Heaven itself��
No more of jealousy than in Paradise。'
So Balan warned�察�and went�察�Balin remained��
Whofor but three brief moons had glanced away
From being knighted till he smote the thrall��
And faded from the presence into years
Of exilenow would strictlier set himself
To learn what Arthur meant by courtesy��
Manhood�察�and knighthood�察�wherefore hovered round
Lancelot�察�but when he marked his high sweet smile
In passing�察�and a transitory word
Make knight or churl or child or damsel seem
From being smiled at happier in themselves
Sighed�察�as a boy lame´born beneath a height��
That glooms his valley�察�sighs to see the peak
Sun´flushed�察�or touch at night the northern star��
For one from out his village lately climed
And brought report of azure lands and fair��
Far seen to left and right�察�and he himself
Hath hardly scaled with help a hundred feet
Up from the base�此 �so Balin marvelling oft
How far beyond him Lancelot seemed to move��
Groaned�察�and at times would mutter�察�'These be gifts��
Born with the blood�察�not learnable�察�divine��
Beyond my reach。 Well had I foughtenwell
In those fierce wars�察�struck hardand had I crowned
With my slain self the heaps of whom I slew
Sobetter��But this worship of the Queen��
That honour too wherein she holds himthis��
This was the sunshine that hath given the man
A growth�察�a name that branches o'er the rest��
And strength against all odds�察�and what the King
So prizesoverprizesgentleness。
Her likewise would I worship an I might。
I never can be close with her�察�as he
That brought her hither。 Shall I pray the King
To let me bear some token of his Queen
Whereon to gaze�察�remembering herforget
My heats and violences�拭�live afresh��
What�察�if the Queen disdained to grant it� �nay
Being so stately´gentle�察�would she make
My darkness blackness�拭�and with how sweet grace
She greeted my return� �Bold will I be
Some goodly cognizance of Guinevere��
In lieu of this rough beast upon my shield��
Langued gules�察�and toothed with grinning savagery。'
And Arthur�察�when Sir Balin sought him�察�said
'What wilt thou bear��' Balin was bold�察�and asked
To bear her own crown´royal upon shield��
Whereat she smiled and turned her to the King��
Who answered 'Thou shalt put the crown to use。
The crown is but the shadow of the King��
And this a shadow's shadow�察�let him have it��
So this will help him of his violences��'
'No shadow' said Sir Balin 'O my Queen��
But light to me� �no shadow�察�O my King��
But golden earnest of a gentler life��'
So Balin bare the crown�察�and all the knights
Approved him�察�and the Queen�察�and all the world
Made music�察�and he felt his being move
In music with his Order�察�and the King。
The nightingale�察�full´toned in middle May��
Hath ever and anon a note so thin
It seems another voice in other groves��
Thus�察�after some quick burst of sudden wrath��
The music in him seemed to change�察�and grow
Faint and far´off。
And once he saw the thrall
His passion half had gauntleted to death��
That causer of his banishment and shame��
Smile at him�察�as he deemed�察�presumptuously��
His arm half rose to strike again�察�but fell��
The memory of that cognizance on shield
Weighted it down�察�but in himself he moaned��
'Too high this mount of Camelot for me��
These high´set courtesies are not for me。
Shall I not rather prove the worse for these��
Fierier and stormier from restraining�察�break
Into some madness even before the Queen��'
Thus�察�as a hearth lit in a mountain home��
And glancing on the window�察�when the gloom
Of twilight deepens round it�察�seems a flame
That rages in the woodland far below��
So when his moods were darkened�察�court and King
And all the kindly warmth of Arthur's hall
Shadowed an angry distance�此 �yet he strove
To learn the graces of their Table�察�fought
Hard with himself�察�and seemed at length in peace。
Then chanced�察�one morning�察�that Sir Balin sat
Close´bowered in that garden nigh the hall。
A walk of roses ran from door to door��
A walk of lilies crost it to the bower��
And down that range of roses the great Queen
Came with slow steps�察�the morning on her face��
And all in shadow from the counter door
Sir Lancelot as to meet her�察�then at once��
As if he saw not�察�glanced aside�察�and paced
The long white walk of lilies toward the bower。
Followed the Queen�察�Sir Balin heard her 'Prince��
Art thou so little loyal to thy Queen��
As pass without good morrow to thy Queen��'
To whom Sir Lancelot with his eyes on earth��
'Fain would I still be loyal to the Queen。'
'Yea so' she said 'but so to pass me by
So loyal scarce is loyal to thyself��
Whom all men rate the king of courtesy。
Let be�此 �ye stand�察�fair lord�察�as in a dream。'
Then Lancelot with his hand among the flowers
'Yeafor a dream。 Last night methought I saw
That maiden Saint who stands with lily in hand
In yonder shrine。 All round her prest the dark��
And all the light upon her silver face
Flowed from the spiritual lily that she held。
Lo� �these her emblems drew mine eyesaway��
For see�察�how perfect´pure� �As light a flush
As hardly tints the blossom of the quince
Would mar their charm of stainless maidenhood。'
'Sweeter to me' she said 'this garden rose
Deep´hued and many´folded� �sweeter still
The wild´wood hyacinth and the bloom of May。
Prince�察�we have ridden before among the flowers
In those fair daysnot all as cool as these��
Though season´earlier。 Art thou sad�拭�or sick��
Our noble King will send thee his own leech
Sick�拭�or for any matter angered at me��'
Then Lancelot lifted his large eyes�察�they dwelt
Deep´tranced on hers�察�and could not fall�此 �her hue
Changed at his gaze�此 �so turning side by side
They past�察�and Balin started from his bower。
'Queen�拭�subject�拭�but I see not what I see。
Damsel and lover�拭�hear not what I hear。
My father hath begotten me in his wrath。
I suffer from the things before me�察�know��
Learn nothing�察�am not worthy to be knight��
A churl�察�a clown��' and in him gloom on gloom
Deepened�此 �he sharply caught his lance and shield��
Nor stayed to crave permission of the King��
But�察�mad for strange adventure�察�dashed away。
He took t
