“Cried out the whole night long,
Crying amid the glittering sea,
Naming it with ecstatic breath,
Because it had such dignity,
By the sweet name of Death.”

Fought was this noble fray,
Which fame did not delay
To England to carry.

With such acts fill a pen,
Or England breed again
Such a King Harry?”
