| from disenchanted days | B |
| wither alike dark rose | C |

| only defeat and silence | E |
| though we lift hands disenchanted | F |
| of small strength nor raise | B |
| branch of the laurel | G |

| yet hear all merciful and touch | K |
| the fore head dim unlit of pride and thought | L |
| Mistress be near | M |
| Give back the glamour to our will | N |

| the chisel once we wrought | L |
| things not unworthy | P |

| silver and metal hammered for the ridge | T |
| of shield and helmet rim | U |
| white silver with the darker hammered in | V |
| belt staff and magic spear shaft | W |
| with the gilt spark at the point and hilt | X |
