What if my great-granddad had a pair that were twenty foot high,
And mine were but fifteen foot, no modern stalks upon higher,
Some rogue of the world stole them to patch up a fence or a fire.”

And dressed myself in such humility
That I did pluck allegiance from mens hearts,
Loud shouts and salutations from their mouths,
Even in the presence of the crowned King.”
