THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 51 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: YET SUCH THE GARB OF INNOCENCE SHE WORE
Last Line: HER HEART OF PEACE HE NEVER WOULD PROFANE.
Subject(s): HEARTS; LOVE;
Yet such the garb of innocence she wore,
White-robed in panoply of virgin faith,
For very knighthood he his strength forbore:
To him she should not owe her maiden skaith!
How could he bring dishonour to her door,
And make of her heart's love a piteous wraith?
Whiles yet to him high courage and truth remain,
Her heart of peace he never would profane.
