| Who wise as brave yielded his conquered sword | E |
| At a vain war's surcease | F |

| In the calm halls of peace | F |

| Who pressed the ruddy wine to thy faint lips | F |

| And saw afar time's white in sailing ships | F |
| Bringing a happier day | H |

| Oh mourn for him dear land that gave him birth | I |
| Bow low thy sorrowing head | J |
| Let thy seared leaves fall silent on the earth | I |
| Whereunder he lies dead | J |

| In field and hall in valor and in grace | F |
| In wisdom's livery | K |
| Gentle and brave he moved with knightly pace | F |
| A worthy son of thee | K |
