ETHANDUNE: THE SLAYING OF THE CHIEFS As the sea flooding the flat sands Flew on the sea born horde, The two hosts shocked with dust and din, Left of the Latian paladin, Clanged all Prince Harold's howling kin On Colan and the sword. BOOK SIX THE SLAYING OF THE CHIEFS AS THE SEA FLOODING THE FLAT SANDS FLEW ON THE SEA BORN HORDE THE TWO HOSTS SHOCKED WITH DUST AND IN LEFT OF THE LATIN PALADIN CLANGED ALL PRINCE HAROLD'S HOWLING KIN ON COLIN AND THE SWORD
ner of Christian men, Whether of steel or priestly pen, That they cast their hearts out of their ken To get their heart's desire. "And whether ye swear a hive of monks, Or one fair wife to friend, This is the manner of Christian men, That their oath endures the end. "For love, our Lord, at the end of the world, Sits a red horse like a throne, With a brazen helm and an iron bow, But one arrow alone. "Love with the shield of the Broken Heart Ever his bow doth bend, With a single shaft for a single prize, And the ultimate bolt that parts and flies Comes with a thunder of split skies, And a sound of souls that rend. "So shall you earn a king's sword, Who cast your sword away." And the King took, with a random eye, A rude axe from a hind hard by And turned him to the fray. For the swords of the Earls of Daneland Flamed round the fallen lord. The first blood woke the trumpet-tune, As in monk's rhyme or wizard's rune, Beginneth the battle of Ethandune With the throwing of the sword. BOOK VI.
