VIII
Now out, now in, through thick and through thin,
Mark fled from that shield aghast ;
Through thick and through thin, with dindle and din
Sir Dagonet followed fast !
IX
Then the knights chased after, with Ho ! and Yield
And he ran like a rated hound ;
And the cry rose high and the laughter pealed,
Till wood and water and forest and field
Rang with the noise and sound !
