Robert Louis Stevenson - The Vanquished Knight
Work rating: Low

I HAVE left all upon the shameful field,
Honour and Hope, my God, and all but life;
Spurless, with sword reversed and dinted shield,
Degraded and disgraced, I leave the strife.

From him that hath not, shall there not be taken
E`en that he hath, when he deserts the strife?
Life left by all life`s benefits forsaken,
O keep the promise, Lord, and take the life.
