THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 84 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: BUT WHEN SHE VIEW'D HIS COUNTENANCE O'ERCAST
Last Line: HER TENDER EYES BRIGHT TEARS OF RUTH BEDIM.
Subject(s): LOVE; MARRIAGE; OLD AGE; WEDDINGS; HUSBANDS; WIVES;
But when she view'd his countenance o'ercast,
His down-droopt eye, his hair all silvery white,
A dreadful fear fell like an icy blast
Upon her soul, and wither'd all delight.
Thro' some fierce conflict her dear lord had pass'd,
His pallid looks her wofully affright.
Straight all her woman's heart went out to him,
Her tender eyes bright tears of ruth bedim.
