THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 44 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: DEEM NOT OUR ERSTWHILE TRUST IN HIM MISPLACED!
Last Line: LOVE COUNTS NOT TIME BY SESSIONS OF THE MOON!
Subject(s): LOVE;

Deem not our erstwhile trust in him misplaced!—
A 'stainless' saint to-morrow stain'd may be!—
Ah, judge not this true knight in soulless haste,
For who of mortal men is passion-free?
Yet, till this hour, Sir Eliduc was chaste,
With brave, clean hands and heart of chivalry.
And if some cavil that he fell too soon—
Love counts not Time by sessions of the moon!
