In mail of black my limbs I girt | B |
Angelica | C |
And when the bugles clanged the charge | D |
The rolling battle's bristling marge | D |
Beheld me a black storm of war | E |
Dash on the foe | F |
While Durindana glitt'ring far | G |
Made many a foeman mouth the dirt | B |
In bleeding woe | F |
For thou didst fire me to the war | E |
'Mid many a Paynim scimetar | E |
Angelica | C |

II | A |

No more the battle fires my blood | H |
Angelica | C |
No more gay lists flaunt all their guiles | I |
And chivalry's charge and beauty's smiles | I |
I wander lone the thistly wold | J |
When night snows fall | K |
And crispy frosts the wild grass hold | J |
Great knights go glimmering thro' the wood | L |
The clarion's call | K |
Wakes War upon his desert wold | J |
I see the dawning breaking cold | J |

When Southern winds sowed all the skies | M |
Angelica | C |
With bloom storms of the flowering May | N |
When all the battle field was gay | N |
With scented garb of sainted flowers | O |
I found a stream | P |
Cold as thy heart to paramours | O |
Deep as the depth of thy blue eyes | O |
And like a dream | P |
I found a grotto 'mid the flowers | O |
Cool 'mid the sunlight sprinkled bowers | O |

IV | F |
- | |
My casque I dofft to scoop the fount | J |
Angelica | C |
With beaded pureness bubbling cool | Q |
It clashed into the purling pool | Q |
Thy name lay chiseled in the rock | R |
And underneath | S |
And then meseemed deep night did block | R |
My steel chained heart in one huge mount | J |
Foreshadowing death | T |
Medoro deep in every rock | R |
The Moorish name my soul did mock | R |
Angelica | C |

V | F |
- | |
No more wild war my veins ensteeps | O |
Angelica | C |
No more gay lists flaunt all their guiles | O |
White wastes before me miles on miles | O |
With one low ruby sunset bound | J |
Thou fleest before | E |
I follow on a far off sound | J |
Of oceans gnawing at dark steeps | O |
Swells to a roar | E |
'Mid foam thou smil'st I spurn the ground | J |
I sink I swim waves hiss around | J |
Oh could I sink 'neath the profound | J |
And think of thee no more | E |
