Aye, blessings on his noble bead, And on his fearless heart ; Harold the Just the lustre gain'd, That glorious deeds impart.
And yet he was so calm and mild, So gentle, yet so brave ; His meanest ceorl would not have fear'd A boon from him to crave.
Yes, boon from out that warrior's hand, Whom fate foretold as king, * Harold was the second son of Earl Godwin ; he entered London with his father and five brothers in the month of May, 1052.
Digitized by LjOOQ IC THE BATTLE OF HASTINGS. 73 Whene'er... the meek and lowly prince* To heaven had taken wing, Who now sat on the English throne, And sigh'd o'er ctobs and bead — A king but in his outward garb, A saint in every deed.
Thus Harold reign' d in every heart, And waited but the word, To be by one united voice To England's throne preferr'd.
And right good cause had they to give Proud Godwin's son the crown ; His counsels sage, his valour bright, Kept war and carnage down.
When Gryffthsf led his rebel band, And scared the border side, 'Twas Harold's arm alone had power To quench the Welchman's pride.
