THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 39, by                    
First Line: And thus to her the sage old counsellor
Last Line: Your queenly heart make ready for the king.'
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Knights & Knighthood; Love


And thus to her the sage old counsellor—
'If of his knightly love you would have proof,
Despatch to him a ring which once you wore
Or girdle-belt, and if he stand aloof
And your bright gifts forthwith to you restore,
Then know the knight deaf to your fond behoof.
But, if he wear your favour or your ring,
Your queenly heart make ready for the king.'
