unbefit

I cannot think upon thee with the esteem

Thy talents should have won thee; and the page,

Which for a fallen enemy could teem

With scorn; or with the dead its warfare wage;

Would shame the bard, not thee, and unbefit the age.

No stain tarnishes the trappings to unbefit them for the adornment and control of the well groomed animal that restlessly confesses to his new experience.
