Wars of great kings and clash of armouries
|
Whose swords no man could tell, whose spears
|
Were numerous as wheat field's ears
|
Rolled over all the great lands, and seas
|
|
Were loud with navies, their devouring fires
|
Behind the armies burned both fields and towns
|
And sacked and crumbled or to flaming pyres
|
Were cities made, where treasuries and crowns
|
|
Kings and their folk, their wives and tender maids
|
Were all consumed. Now silent are those courts
|
Ruined the towers, whose old shape slowly fades
|
And no feet pass beneath their broken ports
|
