- | |
The earth was sown with early flowers | B |
The heavens were blue and bright | C |
I met a youthful cavalier | D |
As lovely as the light | C |
I knew him not but in my heart | E |
His graceful image lies | F |
And well I marked his open brow | G |
His sweet and tender eyes | F |
His ruddy lips that ever smiled | H |
His glittering teeth betwixt | I |
And flowing robe embroidered o'er | J |
With leaves and blossoms mixed | I |
He wore a chaplet of the rose | K |
His palfrey white and sleek | L |
Was marked with many an ebon spot | M |
And many a purple streak | L |
Of jasper was his saddle bow | G |
His housings sapphire stone | N |
And brightly in his stirrup glanced | O |
The purple calcedon | N |
Fast rode the gallant cavalier | D |
As youthful horsemen ride | P |
'Peyre Vidal know that I am Love ' | - |
The blooming stranger cried | P |
'And this is Mercy by my side | P |
A dame of high degree | Q |
This maid is Chastity ' he said | R |
'This squire is Loyalty ' | - |
