Ballade of Failure T X /"ITH boom and benison and blight, * ' With cunning and with smooth accord You smote us. In the stark sunlight We melted as the snows are thawed.
Yet these can show a broken sword. Because their sword was not for sale.
Where you can show a shining hoard — But were you strong enough to fail F In pride and panoply and might Your great triumphant legions poured Upon us, swift to slay and smite Us few on the embattled sward.
34 Ballade of Failure Oh, as a bull gores so you go...red, For you were many and could prevail.
Your wings of victory are unflawed — But were you strong enough to jail ?
Now we ride homeward through the night, And bearing as our sole reward A banner trampled in the fight, A tattered rag to show for gaud.
We must admit that you have scored ; Yet honour is an ancient tale.
Take all the glory we afford — But were you strong enough to jail ?
UEnvoi True, Prince, your champions ride abroad Superbly in their silver mail. And all the wide earth owns you lord — But were you strong enough to jail ?
