THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 56, by                    
First Line: Forthwith resolved, he sought the king, her sire
Last Line: My homage bids me carry hence my sword.'
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Knights & Knighthood


Forthwith resolved, he sought the King, her sire,
And to him show'd the seal of his recall;
'My lord,' quoth he, 'since you no more require
My faith and sword, for Peace reigns over all,
Of your free grace permit me to retire
To mine own land, which traitors hold in thrall.
While danger threatens Brittany's dear lord,
My homage bids me carry hence my sword.'
