Sir Giles' War-song
From The Defence of Guenevere and Other Poems
_Ho! is there any will ride with me,
Sir Giles, le bon des barrieres?_
The clink of arms is good to hear,
The flap of pennons fair to see;
_Ho! is there any will ride with me,
Sir Giles, le bon des barrieres?_
The leopards and lilies are fair to see;
St. George Guienne! right good to hear:
_Ho! is there any will ride with me,
Sir Giles, le bon des barrieres?_
I stood by the barrier,
My coat being blazon'd fair to see;
_Ho! is there any will ride with me,
Sir Giles, le bon des barrieres?_
Clisson put out his head to see,
And lifted his basnet up to hear;
I pull'd him through the bars to ME,
Sir Giles; le bon des barrieres.
