Ic*ir XXI.
In gaining gentle lore and knowledge deep, His years were spent, and much he did delight Chivalrous arms to bear, athletic keep By exercise untiring, tho in sight No badge or token bore, the least to slight The purest faith, held by his ancestry; And when he had arrived at manhood s height, He was aye stalwart, noble, wise was he, Mingling with courtly knights and dames right worthily.
XXII.
Fearless in Parliament, his voice was heard; His watchword, Liberty ! Altho the rage Of princ...es fell upon him, when the word Was stifled by thick walls, his pen gan wage A secret war, that nothing could assuage; When strong armed power prevented labors there, He fled to other lands, free to engage In conflicts: learning wisdom every where; Gaining new strength, for all he deemed the right to dare.
XXIII.
Nor from his early training aught could wean, Where wise and haughty courtiers seek display About the sage-accomplished, honored queen: Where he as well, now mingled; false array Sad as deceiving, aye he turned away More wholly, bent to strive for liberty; For purer faith, more manfully to stay The subtile purposes of kingly sway; As years passed on, the many seemed to be Too hopeless, dull, and blind to their own jeopardy.
