Bayard kK! NG may plot and = Cardinal scheme, Burghers traffic for golden pelf, Lost to duty the folk may seem— None for others and each for self; But, oh! the change when the trumpets ring And the pennon shakes on the lifted lance, Priest and parliament, count and king, Lords and people are all for France! Honor wakes in the hearts of men; Knights and paladins mount and ride, For Bayard is in the saddle again, The golden spur in the dappled side. Faithful friend, gallant foe, Fearless heart, strength of ten, Forthright tongue, downright blow— Bayard is in the saddle again. Thrones may totter and crowns may fall; Fortune favor, or ill mischance ; Buoyant, eager and brave through all Beats, undaunted, the heart of France. Swift from scabbard her sword blade keen Leaps at the challenge of life or death ; All that’s petty or base or mean Shrivels to naught in the cannon’s breath, Honor marshals the vanward, when Toss her battleflags far and wide, For Bayard is in the saddle again, The golden spur in the charger’s side. Faithful friend, gallant foe, Fearless heart, strength of ten, i Forthright tongue, downright blow— “ Beats, undaunted, the heart of France!" Bayard is in the saddle again. eirthur Guiterman, Ccomicbooks.com
