Where thy love the golden seam doth sew.
I shall bring thee in and lay thine hand
About the neck of that lily-wand.
And let the King be lief or loth
One bed that night shall hold you both."
Now north belike runs Steingrim's prow,
And the rain and the wind from the south do blow.
THE KING'S DAUGHTER
Lo, fowl of death, my mother's ring,
But the bridal song I must learn to sing.
