Nor stayed to crave permission of the King��
But�察�mad for strange adventure�察�dashed away。
He took the selfsame track as Balan�察�saw
The fountain where they sat together�察�sighed
'Was I not better there with him��' and rode
The skyless woods�察�but under open blue
Came on the hoarhead woodman at a bough
Wearily hewing。 'Churl�察�thine axe��' he cried��
Descended�察�and disjointed it at a blow��
To whom the woodman uttered wonderingly
'Lord�察�thou couldst lay the Devil of these woods
If arm of flesh could lay him。' Balin cried
'Him�察�or the viler devil who plays his part��
To lay that devil would lay the Devil in me。'
'Nay' said the churl�察�'our devil is a truth��
I saw the flash of him but yestereven。
And some do say that our Sir Garlon too
Hath learned black magic�察�and to ride unseen。
Look to the cave。' But Balin answered him
'Old fabler�察�these be fancies of the churl��
Look to thy woodcraft��' and so leaving him��
Now with slack rein and careless of himself��
Now with dug spur and raving at himself��
Now with droopt brow down the long glades he rode��
So marked not on his right a cavern´chasm
Yawn over darkness�察�where�察�nor far within��
The whole day died�察�but�察�dying�察�gleamed on rocks
Roof´pendent�察�sharp�察�and others from the floor��
Tusklike�察�arising�察�made that mouth of night
Whereout the Demon issued up from Hell。
He marked not this�察�but blind and deaf to all
Save that chained rage�察�which ever yelpt within��
Past eastward from the falling sun。 At once
He felt the hollow´beaten mosses thud
And tremble�察�and then the shadow of a spear��
Shot from behind him�察�ran along the ground。
Sideways he started from the path�察�and saw��
With pointed lance as if to pierce�察�a shape��
A light of armour by him flash�察�and pass
And vanish in the woods�察�and followed this��
But all so blind in rage that unawares
He burst his lance against a forest bough��
Dishorsed himself�察�and rose again�察�and fled
Far�察�till the castle of a King�察�the hall
Of Pellam�察�lichen´bearded�察�grayly draped
With streaming grass�察�appeared�察�low´built but strong��
The ruinous donjon as a knoll of moss��
The battlement overtopt with ivytods��
A home of bats�察�in every tower an owl。
Then spake the men of Pellam crying 'Lord��
Why wear ye this crown´royal upon shield��'
Said Balin 'For the fairest and the best
Of ladies living gave me this to bear。'
So stalled his horse�察�and strode across the court��
But found the greetings both of knight and King
Faint in the low dark hall of banquet�此 �leaves
Laid their green faces flat against the panes��
Sprays grated�察�and the cankered boughs without
Whined in the wood�察�for all was hushed within��
Till when at feast Sir Garlon likewise asked
'Why wear ye that crown´royal��' Balin said
'The Queen we worship�察�Lancelot�察�I�察�and all��
As fairest�察�best and purest�察�granted me
To bear it��' Such a sound ��for Arthur's knights
Were hated strangers in the hall�� as makes
The white swan´mother�察�sitting�察�when she hears
A strange knee rustle through her secret reeds��
Made Garlon�察�hissing�察�then he sourly smiled。
'Fairest I grant her�此 �I have seen�察�but best��
Best�察�purest�拭�thou from Arthur's hall�察�and yet
So simple� �hast thou eyes�察�or if�察�are these
So far besotted that they fail to see
This fair wife´worship cloaks a secret shame��
Truly�察�ye men of Arthur be but babes。'
A goblet on the board by Balin�察�bossed
With holy Joseph's legend�察�on his right
Stood�察�all of massiest bronze�此 �one side had sea
And ship and sail and angels blowing on it��
And one was rough with wattling�察�and the walls
Of that low church he built at Glastonbury。
This Balin graspt�察�but while in act to hurl��
Through memory of that token on the shield
Relaxed his hold�此 �'I will be gentle' he thought
'And passing gentle' caught his hand away��
Then fiercely to Sir Garlon 'Eyes have I
That saw today the shadow of a spear��
Shot from behind me�察�run along the ground��
Eyes too that long have watched how Lancelot draws
From homage to the best and purest�察�might��
Name�察�manhood�察�and a grace�察�but scantly thine��
Who�察�sitting in thine own hall�察�canst endure
To mouth so huge a foulnessto thy guest��
Me�察�me of Arthur's Table。 Felon talk��
Let be� �no more��'
But not the less by night
The scorn of Garlon�察�poisoning all his rest��
Stung him in dreams。 At length�察�and dim through leaves
Blinkt the white morn�察�sprays grated�察�and old boughs
Whined in the wood。 He rose�察�descended�察�met
The scorner in the castle court�察�and fain��
For hate and loathing�察�would have past him by��
But when Sir Garlon uttered mocking´wise��
'What�察�wear ye still that same crown´scandalous��'
His countenance blackened�察�and his forehead veins
Bloated�察�and branched�察�and tearing out of sheath
The brand�察�Sir Balin with a fiery 'Ha��
So thou be shadow�察�here I make thee ghost��'
Hard upon helm smote him�察�and the blade flew
Splintering in six�察�and clinkt upon the stones。
Then Garlon�察�reeling slowly backward�察�fell��
And Balin by the banneret of his helm
Dragged him�察�and struck�察�but from the castle a cry
Sounded across the court�察�andmen´at´arms��
A score with pointed lances�察�making at him
He dashed the pummel at the foremost face��
Beneath a low door dipt�察�and made his feet
Wings through a glimmering gallery�察�till he marked
The portal of King Pellam's chapel wide
And inward to the wall�察�he stept behind��
Thence in a moment heard them pass like wolves
Howling�察�but while he stared about the shrine��
In which he scarce could spy the Christ for Saints��
Beheld before a golden altar lie
The longest lance his eyes had ever seen��
Point´painted red�察�and seizing thereupon
Pushed through an open casement down�察�leaned on it��
Leapt in a semicircle�察�and lit on earth��
Then hand at ear�察�and harkening from what side
The blindfold rummage buried in the walls
Might echo�察�ran the counter path�察�and found
His charger�察�mounted on him and away。
An arrow whizzed to the right�察�one to the left��
One overhead�察�and Pellam's feeble cry
'Stay�察�stay him� �he defileth heavenly things
With earthly uses'made him quickly dive
Beneath the boughs�察�and race through many a mile
Of dense and open�察�till his goodly horse��
Arising wearily at a fallen oak��
Stumbled headlong�察�and cast him face to ground。
Half´wroth he had not ended�察�but all glad��
Knightlike�察�to find his charger yet unlamed��
Sir Balin drew the shield from off his neck��
Stared at the priceless cognizance�察�and thought
'I have shamed thee so that now thou shamest me��
Thee will I bear no more��' high on a branch
Hung it�察�and turned aside into the woods��
And there in gloom cast himself all along��
Moaning 'My violences�察�my violences��'
But now the wholesome music of the wood
Was dumbed by one from out the hall of Mark��
A damsel´errant�察�warbling�察�as she rode
The woodland alleys�察�Vivien�察�with her Squire。
'The fire of Heaven has killed the barren cold��
And kindled all the plain and all the wold。
The new leaf ever pushes off the old。
The fire of Heaven is not the flame of Hell。
'Old priest�察�who mumble worship in your quire
Old monk and nun�察�ye scorn the world's desire��
Yet in your frosty cells ye feel the fire��
The fire of Heaven is not the flame of Hell。
'The fire of Heaven is on the dusty ways。
The wayside blossoms open to the blaze。
The whole wood´world is one full peal of praise。
The fire of Heaven is not the flame of Hell。
'The fire of Heaven is lord of all things good��
And starve not thou this fire within thy blood��
But follow Vivien through the fiery flood��
The fire of Heaven is not the flame of Hell��'
Then turning to her Squire 'This fire of Heaven��
This old sun´worship�察�boy�察�will rise again��
And beat the cross to earth�察�and break the King
And all his Table。'
Then they reached a glade��
Where under one long lane of cloudless air
Before another wood�察�the royal crown
Sparkled�察�and swaying upon a restless elm
Drew the vague glance of Vivien�察�and her Squire��
Amazed were these�察�'Lo there' she cried'a crown
Borne by some high lord´prince of Arthur's hall��
And there a horse� �the rider�拭�where is he��
See�察�yonder lies one dead within the wood。
Not dead�察�he stirs��but sleeping。 I will speak。
Hail�察�royal knight�察�we break on thy sweet rest��
Not�察�doubtless�察�all unearned by noble deeds。
But bounden art thou�察�if from Arthur's hall��
To help the weak。 Behold�察�I fly from shame��
A lustful King�察�who sought to win my love
Through evil ways�此 �the knight�察�with whom I rode��
Hath suffered misadventure�察�and my squire
Hath in him small defence�察�but thou�察�Sir Prince��
Wilt surely guide me to the warrior King��
Arthur the blameless�察�pure as any maid��
To get me shelter for my maidenhood。
I charge thee by that crown upon thy shield��
And by the great Queen's name�察�arise and hence。'
And Balin rose�察�'Thither no more� �nor Prince
Nor knight am I�察�but one that hath defamed
The cognizance she gave me�此 �here I dwell
Savage among the savage woods�察�here die
Die�此 �let the wolves' black maws ensepulchre
Their brother beast�察�whose anger was his lord。
O me�察�that such a name as Guinevere's��
Which our high Lancelot hath so lifted up��
And been thereby uplifted�察�should through me��
My violence�察�and my villainy�察�come to shame。'
Thereat she suddenly laughed and shrill�察�anon
Sighed all as suddenly。 Said Balin to her
'Is this thy courtesyto mock me�察�ha��
Hence�察�for I will not with thee。' Again she sighed
'Pardon�察�sweet lord� �we maidens often laugh
When sick at heart�察�when rather we should weep。
I knew thee wronged。 I brake upon thy rest��
And now full loth am I to break thy dream��
But thou art man�察�and canst abide a truth��
Though bitter。 Hither�察�boyand mark me well。
Dost thou remember at Caerleon once
A year agonay�察�then I love thee not
Ay�察�thou rememberest wellone summer dawn
By the great towerCaerleon upon Usk
Nay�察�truly we were hidden�此 �this fair lord��
The flower of all their vestal knighthood�察�knelt
In amorous homagekneltwhat else��O ay
Knelt�察�and drew down from out his night´black hair
And mumbled that white hand whose ringed caress
Had wandered from her own King's golden head��
And lost itself in darkness�察�till she cried
I thought the great tower would crash down on both
;Rise�察�my sweet King�察�and kiss me on the lips��
Thou art my King。; This lad��
