My soul is an Infanta, robed for state.


D. L. SAYERS

FAIR EREMBOURS

A SONG OF THE WEB. FRENCH, XII c.

When in the long-day month, the month of May,

The Franks of France from king's court ride away,

Reynault rides foremost, the first in rank alway.

Passes the tower where Erembours doth stay;

He never deigned to lift his head her way,
