I. King Arthur, at his Table Round, had never knightlier guests. Nor Charles' Paladins such store of love tales and of jests; The choicest spirits of all the Earth cross over land and blow their horns at my gate, and stall their steeds with me. Then fail me, my Trusty Friend, be sure fail not to come, And your fellow guests shall be the best, and boast of Christendom. II. Sir Sherry, from the Xeres side, here hangs his Spanish sword. And humorous, though grave, he sits, and sparkles at my board, From Malaga of the Moors, and Oporto by the Sea, Two gentlemen of kindred blood came in his com- pany, Then fail me not, my Trusty Friend, be sure fail not to come, And your fellow guests shall be the best, and boast of Christendom. III. A glowing Greek from Cyprus came by way of Italy, And brings with him his tender spouse, Signora Lach- rymæ; Oh! thrilling are the Tales he tells of far Historic lands, Where once with Demi-gods he fought, amid Homeric bands, Then fail me not, my Trusty Friend, be sure fail not to come, And your fellow guests shall be the best, and boast of Christendom.
