Come, bear around a brimmed bowl of wine ! JWtale foitfjout a BY PAYSANS DE MAISIERES. THE MULE WITHOUT A BR1DWE. IT was the holy feast of Whitsuntide, When Arthur will'd in royal state reside, And where proud CardueFs battlements arise Hold his high court with due solemnities. Straight through each province the wide bruit was known, And every chief resorted to the throne ; High dames, and doughty knights, a numerous host, Whate'er of worthiness the land could boast, 128 THE MULE WITHOUT A BRID...LE. All came, obedient to their sovereign's word, And dignified the prince they all ador'd. Now one day's joy was past, and every guest Was rising from the second noon-tide feast, When from afar a damsel was descried, Slow toward the castle gate she seem'd to ride, A goodly mule her graceful form sustain'd, Unbitted was his mouth, his neck unrein'd. The King, the Queen, with all their court, admir'd, And tedious grew their time, with vain conjecture tir'd Till, as the damsel now approach'd more nigh, Her youth, her opening charms, struck every eye ; Swift flies to meet her many a youthful knight, Bends at her knee, and helps her to alight : Their courtesies with mournful cheer she bore, For sorrow, as it seem'd, had struck her sore ; And many a tear, fast trickling down her cheek, JShew'd heaviness of soul that ill could bear to speak.
