The act of cowardice that Godrich performed was leaving the battlefield. When Lord Byrthnoth was killed, all his retainers were bound by oath to stay in the fight and avenge his death. Some of them, courageously stayed. Others cowardly fled. Godrich was one of the latter.

The poet finds this especially cowardly because not only was he one of the first to escape, along with his brothers, but also because he fled in his lord's own horse. (The author specifies "<em>He leapt upon the very stead his lord had owned, his saddle, which was not right at all</em>".)

“Thou are not lovelier than lilacs”

Hunter-Best [27]

While the poems were written centuries apart, they have many similarities. Both poems are sonnets that use comparisons but in an unusual way. Each tells what the love is not lovelier than. Both poems use imagery involving nature, and both use vivid word choice. While Millay does state her love is not more beautiful than "small white poppies," she "bend[s] before" him in awe. Shakespeare makes a point of stating that his love is an ordinary woman, not a goddess. Both poets use careful diction and poetic language. Shakespeare uses "hath," and inverts sentences. Millay uses "thy" and "thou" along with other archaic words. Her line, "lovelier than lilacs" is an example of her choosing words for their sound as much as their meaning. The lines "day by day unto his draught/of delicate poison adds him one drop more" also illustrates her concern for the sound of the poem. Love and lovers seem little changed over the centuries!
