THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 57 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: AS CLOUDS THAT GATHER ON THE MOUNTAIN'S BROW
Last Line: FAIR GUILLARDUN, HIS BITTER NEWS TO BREAK.
Subject(s): FRIENDSHIP; KNIGHTS & KNIGHTHOOD;

As clouds that gather on the mountain's brow
Scatter, when the full orb of heaven bursts through,
So lighten'd the king's face. His yearlong vow
The grateful monarch of boon grace withdrew.
With manifold gifts he did his friend endow,
And wish'd success might wait on arms so true.
He then embraced the knight, and bade him seek
Fair Guillardun, his bitter news to break.
