Well mayst thou boast that thou the best chevalier That any folk e'er had, hast from us taken ;

But had its life in the young English King,
And better were it, should God grant his

That he should live than many a living dastard That doth but wound the good with ire and sadness.

The ascetic ideal, you will guess, was at no time
and in no place, a school of good taste, still less of
good manners — at the best it was a school for
sacerdotal manners : that is, it
