but when he was at Amsterdam, ready to embark,

Which clothes all courage their voices checked:

Spake in the old man's strong right hand,
And his corded throat, and the lurking frown
Of his eyebrows under his old bell-crown;
Until, as they gazed, there crept an awe
Through the ranks in whispers, and some men saw,
In the antique vestments and long white hair,
The Past of the Nation in battle there;
And some of the

since declare
That the gleam of his old white hat afar,
Like the crested plume of the brave Navarre,
