Digitized by VjOOQIC THE MESSENGER With God's grace, whence all mercies spring, The duke's young minstrel said that he Would bear a message to the king.
The men-at-arms jeered openly, But those who knew the merry lad Grew grave, thinking him famine-mad.
But said the duke : " Who goes will die, And he will die who stays ; so go," And put the pictured arras by, And passed in silence with his woe.
But loud the minstrel laughed, and said : " The road is short unto the dead." Theirs was a wild and b...are domain, And neighbor to the barren shore : There wheeled the gull above the plain, And hemlocks mocked the salt sea's roar ; Ever the fog came trooping in The parched and whitened fields to win.
Digitized by VaOOQlC 122 THE MESSENGER So flat the realm, one scarce could say Where land left off and sea began.
Through all a slow stream wound its way, And mile on mile the marshes ran North, west, and south ; but in the east The sea droned ever like a priest One would have called it all too bare To tempt marauders : cattle throve, But like rank weeds, without a care ; A few sheep fed, a scraggy drove ; A few nets swung upon the bay — And over all the duke held sway.
