    Is that not missing an ‘I’? As in

    I travelled both though I be one traveller…

      It’s an adaptation from “the road not taken”, by Robert Frost, which does the same

      Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
      And sorry I could not travel both
      And be one traveler, long I stood
      And looked down one as far as I could
      To where it bent in the undergrowth;

      There’s already an “I” earlier in that sentence, so it’s not necessary necessary, especially in poetry, but it would absolutely be clearer with another.
