Till high, within the window, they

The lovely lady found.

"Ah! lady, speak, why mournest thou?

Confide thy grief to me,

And to thy cause this sword, this arm,

This life, devoted be!"

"Ah! noble knight, nor sword, nor arm

I need, right well I wot,

But comfort for my sorrowing heart.

And, ah, that thou hast not!"
