And give thee to me who will wear thee here."


ISOLT

"But when the queen, La beale Isoude heard these tidings shee made such sorrow that shee was full nigh out of her minde, and so upon a day she thought to slay herselfe, and never for to live after Sir Tristram's death."—Le Morte d'Arthure.

I

The wild dawn flares o'er wood and vale,

O'er all the world she used to love:

Low on her couch it finds her pale,

The dawn that breaks with flame above.
