O Honor, I knew thee ages past
And trusted in thy great constancy
And let thee influence all my acts.
But whatever has happened to me?

How could I forget thy great friendship,
Since it made a real man out of me,
Someone others and I could respect
For integrity and loyalty?

How is it that I could run thee through
In a cursed moment of thoughtless rage?
Thou hast gone on to join chivalry,
And I’m stuck in this accurséd age.
