THE BALLAD OF THE BELL. THREE gallant knights ride down the road, They use nor spur nor rein; In laugh and jest they little bode That on this way their steeds have trod They turn not back again. They laugh and chat along the way, These noble lords of Spain, No haste to go, no care to stay, A dusty road, a sunny day; And little heed the three that they Will ne er go back again. " Groom, take this horse ; Boy, feed him well ! " Ah, me, a caution vain ! Yet not one warning voice to tell How ends t...his Council of the Bell, How each man falls beneath the spell, And goes not back again ! 56 FOR FIFTY YEARS. A flashing axe, a headsman s sword, Three falling trunks, and then, With never prayer or shriving word, Lies stark in death each laughing lord, And none goes back again. HUESCA, ARRAGON, June, 1882. II. COLLEGE VERSES. COLLEGE VERSES. FROM "CLASS POEM, " 1839. IF they scribble in ballads, their young Lochinvar Shall boast of no steed but his steam-rushing car, Save his high pressure engine, companions have none, As he rides all unarmed, as he rides all alone.
