What are they ?
CORNEWULF. Ask me not to-day ; The hour for words will come — Elfreda. How shall I know, sir, that I am awake When now I know not that I am asleep ?
Cornewulf. Women sleep fast and know not that they sleep, But, when they waken, then straightway they know ; Soon thou wilt be a woman, lovely maid.
Elfreda. I am a woman now. King Alfred says.
Cornewulf (aside). He will approve my choice — all things beclad In beauty are by Alfred well approved.
(Aloud.) If one should come to woo t...hee, maiden, say, " I pledged my troth to Cornewulf, who gave His heart to me, in the same hour we met." 92 KING ALFRED'S JEWEL Elfreda. No pledges and no promise have I given, But I will give not unto him who asks, Remembering thee — Sir Cornewulf.
CORNEWULF. Enough !
True love compelleth love by Love's own law.
Keep thy fair field of flowers unpledged, and I Will win the field and foster the fair flowers.
Before the time unfolds, remember this — I hold within my hand authority By my lord's grace ; I am thy trusty knight ; If thou hast need of service, call to me — To Cornewulf, Cup-bearer to the King.
