Excerpt from The Works of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Vol. 3 of 12: Poet Laureate And this, ' he said, ' was Hugh's at Agincourt; And that was Old Sir Ralph's at Ascalon A good knight he! We keep a chronicle With all about him, ' which he brought, and I Dived in a hoard of tales that dealt with knights, Half - legend, half-historic, counts and kings Who laid about them at their Wills and died; And mixt with these a lady, one that arm'd Her own fair head, and sallying thro' the gate, Had beat her foes with slaughter from her walls.
