The Vigil of Venus and Other Poems: Envoy

Envoy

Young Knight, the lists are set to-day!
Hereafter shall be time to pray
In sepulture, with hands of stone.
Ride, then! outride the bugle blown!
  And gaily dinging down the van,
Charge with a cheer--"Set on! Set on!
  Virtue is that becrowns a Man!"
