4 6 What meaneth this ! exclaims the king- Who dares dispute our power To wed our ward to one whose deeds Deserve far richer dower ! By Saxon law I have the right, And here, by Heaven I swear, That right I shall not yield while I The Royal sceptre bear. VII. A feeble cheer gave faint response To Harold's haughty speech ; While through the hall a murmur rolled Like waves along the beach, Then broke like sudden thunder-peal In bold defiant tone I, Harold, I deny thy right, Even while you hold the... throne; 47 I still am Earl of Alderwood And 'mid my vassals, I Claim now my lands, my daughter too, And all thy power defy To wrest them from me; for, before Such forfeiture is made, A legal trial I must stand, And that must be delayed Delayed until more doubtful claims To higher rank than mine Have first been settled by the sword Whose ? you may well divine. VIII. A hearty cheer woke echoes then Which many years had slept, Unroused since last within that hall The Earl had wassail kept, 4 8 As, "Welcome, Earl of Alderwood!" With many a lusty cheer Rang through the hall, and smote with pain* Th ; astonished Harold's ear.
