THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 38 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: THEN TO THE CLOSE EAR OF HER CHAMBERLAIN
Last Line: IF HIM SHE LOVES, EKE LOVETH HER FULL WELL?'
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?'
