Subject(s): Courts & Courtiers
At Excester, a few short leagues removed,
Dwelt a hoar-winter'd King, whose only child
Of all fair ladies was the best beloved,
Nathyet had any lover's tongue beguiled.
Of many suitors, none had she approved,
Tho' some were gentle, others rough and wild;
And last and worst of these—a border Prince,
Who, loveward foil'd, by force would her convince.
