Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Skaith of Guillardun: A Breton Romance O For the simple themes of old Romance, The world´s glad youth now fled forever by! When knights were chivalrous, and lady´s glance Could kindle valour in a lover´s eye; When lust of gold and worldly circumstance Had not taught men true manhood to decry. O souls of lovers, long since passed away, Breathe your sweet plainings on this ancient lay! Why should we break the chancel of the dead? Why wrong them in their everlasting sleep? Why idly deem that their bright souls have fled, Whose lives in ours perpetual vigil keep? O where are all our wistful fancies fled With thoughts that they around us watch and weep? - Upon the air some fragrance lingereth yet Of loves and passions that long time have set. In Brittany there lived a stainless knight, In gentleness no maid could tenderer be. Yet mark him moving thro´ the press of fight And none more terrible in arms than he. The strong are ever sparing of their might - Mercy the radiant child on Valour´s knee. And as in war his courage none assail´d, In peace his counsel over all prevail´d. Thus by slow steps he won the confidence Of his liege-lord, king over all that realm. When distant lands call´d his loved master thence, Whose hand but his should guide the state´s proud helm? Tho´ nobles frown´d at his pre-eminence, Their muttering thunder him could not o´erwhelm. He bent the rebel barons to his will, Enforced the feudal vows each should fulfil.
