Thy deathless joy, O Ocean, wild and free! 55 HUBERT DE BURGH " Make ready my war-ships," cried Blanche of Castile ; " Make them stanch and well ordered fronl topmast to keel ; Then over the Channel in haste bid them dance, Bearing aid to my Louis, fair Louis of France! " There were eighty good ships, but with forty or less Brave Hubert de Burgh dared the storm and the stress ; At the mouth of the Thames he encountered them all. Overcame the proud Frenchmen and held them in thrall. He sent Loui...s home with his lilies all torn. His banners all drooping, his glory all shorn ; And the bold English barons rfiade haste to declare That Hubert de Burgh royal honors should share. 56 HUBERT DE BURGH 57 But alack and alas! for one dark day there rose A clashing, a clamor, a tumult of foes, Crying, " Death to Earl Hubert! With magical art And unholy spells he hath won the king's heart! " Straightway to the altar then fled he, and laid His hand on the cross, as of old on his blade ; But fast his foes followed, like wolves on the track.
