Daily quote by Knight
The Knight’s bones are dust,
And his good sword rust;—
His soul is with the saints, I trust.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
, from
"The Knight's Tomb"
(written c. 1817; published 1834)
The last three lines, slightly altered, are quoted by Sir
Walter Scott
as an epigraph for
Ivanhoe

The knights are dust,
And their good swords are rust;—
Their souls are with the saints, we trust.
