Tell her, and prove her heart toward the Prince.”
So spake the kindly-hearted Earl, and she
With frequent smile and nod departing found, 515
Half-disarray’d as to her rest, the girl;
Whom first she kiss’d on either cheek, and then
On either shining shoulder laid a hand,
And kept her off and gazed upon her face,
And told her all their converse in the hall, 520
Proving her heart: but never light and shade
Coursed one another more on open ground
