Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Hearts; Love
Then to the close ear of her chamberlain
Did Guillardun her heart of fear confide—
'Speech must I have with that brave knight again,
Whatever after-woe shall me betide.
His lustrous eyes I may not long sustain,
Which, if he love me not, my death decide.
How may the heart of any maiden tell
If him she loves, eke loveth her full well?'
