Explore "The Ballad of Sir Hugh" by Edith Nesbit on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The castle had been held in siege, / While thrice three weeks went past, / And still the foe no vantage gained / And still our men stood fast.
We held the castle for our king / Against our foes and his; / Stout was our heart, as man's must be / In such brave cause as this.
