A pleasure that was one thing with the dawn.

“So passed my days, in courtly wise, until

Some whisper promised me another Spring

Thrilling within my body, and I felt

The first strange wakenings of motherhood,

The pledge, and prophecy, of future Kings.

And I went roaming through the woods no more;

Intent on quiet business with my maids,

Spinning new wool, or standing by the loom,

Or broidering toy baldricks, with gold thread,
