Knighthood. 
 
 fSiij;^;L'sletl by this honor having been conferred on Canada's di^iiii- 
 guished littei^eur, James M. Lemoine.J 
 
 THK knights of old, as we are told, 
 With sword and lance and dazzling sliicld. 
 Rode forth to seek the battlefield, 
 Accounting glory more than gold. 
 
 11. 
 
 I'hus, breathing fight, in annor dight, 
 Kach met the foeman hand to hand. 
 And ready with his flashing brand, 
 
 He slashed and swore with all his might. 
 
 III. 
 
 Again, moic wise, in princely guise, 
 He sallies forth to right old wrong, 
 Defend the weak against the strong, 
 
 liis couch the earth, his roof the skies. 
 
 IV. 
 
 Anon they meet, in gallant heat, 
 
 At tilt and tournament, where Love. 
 Concealed within a lady's glove. 
 
 Adds splendor to each thrilling feat. 
 
 V. 
 
 Proclaimed the prize, abroad he flies. 
 And while incessant i)laudits ring 
 He fans fair cheeks with viewless wing. 
 
 And takes his fee in smiles and sighs. 
 
 VI. 
 
 Long-vanished, long, that courtly throng. 
 The knights of .Arthur's table round, 
 Their neighing steeds that pawed the groiind. 
 
 L<mg hushed the l)ir(r> triumphal song. 
 
VII. 
 
 Romantic age, though bard and sage 
 Have planted roses on thy tomb 
 That till the end of time shall bloom, 
 
 Thy record is a crimson page. 
 
 VIII. 
 
 From this to-day we turn away 
 And greet with pride the nobler knights 
 Who stand on Learning's tranquil heights 
 
 Shaping the great world's destiny. 
 
 IX. 
 
 Of sterling coin, most fit to join 
 
 This circle of the chosen few, 
 
 Magnanimous of soul and true, 
 Is Canada's revered Lemoine. 
 
 X. 
 
 His laurel crown provokes no frown, 
 
 No politician's guile has won 
 
 Distinction for her honored son, 
 No <TOoked path has soiled his gown. 
 
 XI. 
 
 Her woodland bowers, her birds and flowers 
 Are grateful to the wizard's hand 
 That heightens with its magic wand 
 
 Their beauties in the vernal hours. 
 
 By lake and stream he loves to dream, 
 And quaint Quebec's historic muse — 
 Who guards the heights — will never lose 
 
 Remembrance of his choicest theme.* 
 
 XIII. 
 
 Unsullied knight, though change and blight 
 May mar the scenes that give thee joy. 
 No rust of time can e'er destroy 
 
 Thy genius or obscure its light. 
 
 GEORGE MAR'J'IN. 
 Montreal, March, 1897.
