Of shame Ye say in thy confess within the yard of castle high. A thought once said in thy duress as lungs now filled expel a sigh. Where might he be this chosen knave who danced upon the tresses gold? Can not he come, for thee to save, may not this boy be once so bold? A tear I see upon thy cheek A rivulet of chosen fall. Wilt not this lad again thee seek afore the last of trumpet’s call? Thy door to him shall be once barred against the throes of passion’s wake. For lashes deep of backside scarred shall bring from him a screaming quake. I vow to you, my chosen wench that thee wilt not ‘gain taste his wine. For blackbirds shall feed on the stench of rotting flesh once chosen dine. Though.. if thee wish to I convey thy vow to wed and be my prize. I wilt to you in earnest say not once again thy ears hear lies. A love of strong and trusted will this woman kept of one she knew. For on each night upon her sill a bud was cast of roseate hue. And on the throne a saddened face did sit in wait until the pyre was built to be his resting place for he was known a kingly liar. And then the door became ajar upon the grasp of knightly hand. Her love, a knight returned from war now crowned to lead their chosen land. As one they lived the story told of honest words and giving heart. Two lovers joined of tresses gold and until death they did not part. |
