Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Godfrey of Bulloigne, Vol. 2: Or, the Recovery of Jerusalem The Recovery III. And (as his fortune would) he ´scaped free From thousand arrows which about him flew, From swords and lances, instruments that be Of certain death, himself he safe withdrew; Unknown, unseen, disguised, travell´d he By desert paths and ways but us´d by few, And rode, revolving in his troubled thought What course to take, and yet resolv´d on nought. IV. Thither at last he meant to take his way Where Egypt´s king assembled all his host, To join with him, and once again assay To win by fight, by which so oft he lost: Determin´d thus, he made no longer stay, But thitherward spurr´d forth his steed in post; Nor need he guide, the way right well he could That leads to sandy plains of Gaza old. V. Nor though his smarting wounds torment him oft, His body weak and wounded back and side, Not rested he, nor once his armour doft, But all day long o´er hills and dales doth ride: But when the night cast up her shade aloft, And all earth´s colours strange in sable dy´d, He light, and as he could his wounds upbound, And shook ripe dates down from a palm he found. VI. On them he supped, and amid the field To rest his weary limbs awhile he sought; He made his pillow of his broken shield, To ease the griefs of his distemper´d thought; But little ease could so hard lodging yield, His wounds so smarted that he slept right nought, And in his breast his proud heart rent in twain Two inward vultures, sorrow and disdain.
