thou foe and friendly foe

O' aye! i see the night wantonly brewed, Like the ale of the middle west, O' peace with thou not my subtle mind subdued, I may rest from the stormy hand of thine woes and unrest; Two letters i got from thee, O' whirlwind, Thy stampedes came hauntingly at my camp, Like Sennacherib king of Assyria on Hezekiah skin; Thou not heard his army went beyond earthly ramp O' thou foe and friendly foe, Reap now what thine sow, O' aye! the darkness over the brim wallows ;Calling with a husky voice i seldom know, Thy shadow came like the dunes and its hollow; Thou a foe and a woe, With thine thick darkly veil, thou cant see,  I call now every illumination of light, Come forth thou and end all darkly spree, Come forth, my humble knight.
