Stephanus Marcus 15
Stephanus Marcus Book 1
Canto 3
Verses 8and 9
" Next week Prince James invites our family take
some time at Palace Walderdeen in Throme.
But Guenevere, can I, in fear forsake
a fathers' safety, leave this castle home?
Should I dance, play on prancing horses roam
his countryside in happy frame of mind?
But duty takes first place is my short gnome
and seeking pleasure seems a losing find.
Now I desire not be that type of lady kind."
"You're right, our Lady noble fine and staid.
You've told this maid words needed known this day.
Let me now plait your flaxen pate with braid,
and beautify your face in ointment way.
Word may allow us know how goes the fray.
Methinks the herald may sound forth his cry;
perchance at day's first early golden ray,
then know if great disaster draweth nigh.
Your father's victory we should hold in faith on High"
