THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 6 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: IN BITTERNESS OF SOUL, SIR ELIDUC
Last Line: THAT THEY WHO LOVED HIM REVERENCED HIM THE MORE.
Subject(s): AMBITION; COURTS & COURTIERS;
In bitterness of soul, Sir Eliduc
Grieved that his lifelong fealty naught avail'd;
All joy of life his countenance forsook,
While in his winter'd mind ambition paled;
His banishment unjust he could not brook,
Tho' mid the storm of lies he never quail'd.
With such calm dignity his lot he bore
That they who loved him reverenced him the more.
