A Hamlet for a Slothful Vassal |
| Behold a jocund morn indeed! |
| - |
| Sun on high — birds in sky. |
| Yonder the whist firth eathing, |
| Fro where a gale erranteth. |
| Ye beholdest but the shadow. |
| That is a lie! |
| Mayhap a tithe of trothplight — |
| Lief I am not! |
| I deem — e’er and anon! |
| My words are but a twist. |
| Tis a feigned lie through loathing, |
| I say! |
| To and fro, save hither, |
| Is thy love. |
| A dotard gaffer, I daresay… |
| Not a loth! |
| - |
| But vying for my kinsmen! |
| …a sapling not! |
| Beautiful tyrant! |
| Fiend angelical! |
| Dove-feathered raven! |
| Wolvish-ravening lamb! |
| A hamlet for a slothful vassal — |
| Soothing ale for a parched sot. |
| Hie to tell me What ye judgest as naught; |
| I behold the shadow! |
| Wherefore call me such names; |
| Nay imp am I! |
| Thou art my aghast hart — |
| Grazing in the glade. |
| E’er thou sayest aye! |
| That is a lie! |
| Thief of a plot! |
| Lief I am not! |
| Now go to thy tryst! |
| My words are but a twist! |
| Go, leave, totter! |
| Fare well! |
| — with joy I came, |
| Until ye dwindlest. |
| With rue I leave |
| A morsel, nay more, |
| Even the orb cannot |
| For thy journey |
| Help me melt the ice?! |
| Hither and thither! |
