And they talked privately to- gether, and were not long in coming to an agreement for the undoing of Gerard; seeing that the lady herself had a grudge against himalreadyasinsomesort her rival, and withal as bearing the repute of one whom no woman could win. 59 XIII HAPPY is the vessel Ere it leave the haven, Ere it seek the ocean. Happy is the young heart Ere it learn of evil. Ere it find how cruel. False and traitor-hearted Are the smiling faces Fawning on one favoured By the King and fortune.... Youth and health and gladness, Honour and high instin6t, Guileless heart and goodwill — Many a shaft of evil Is by these averted. But the tireless serpent. Jealously unsleeping, In a careless hour Snares the simple-hearted When he thinks no evil; Coils about his heart-strings. Steals from him his secret. Suddenly betrays him. 40 XIV Now before this time the Lady Clarisse had had but little speech with Gerard, and never in any private way, but only in the full Court or at some public assembly, where there was jesting and laughter and bright flashing of wits among the gay ladies and gallant youths.
