'And help a wretched maid to flee.'

Then Christabel stretched forth her hand,

And comforted fair Geraldine:

'O well, bright dame, may you command

Will he send forth, and friends withal,

To guide and guard you safe and free

Home to your noble father's hall.'

She rose: and forth with steps they passed
