Ask me no more, for fear I should reply;


    Others have held their tongues, and so can I,


Hundreds have died, and told no tale befoer:


    Ask me no more, for fear I should reply --





How one was true and one was clean of stain


    And one was braver than the heavens are high,


And one was fond of me: and all are slain.


    Ask me no more, for fear I should reply.
