Was none so daring that durst make bold (save her lord alone) of the liegemen dear 1936 that lady full in the face to look, but forged fetters he found his lot, bonds of death I And brief the respite; soon as they seized him, his sword-doom was spoken, and the burnished blade a baleful murder 1940 proclaimed and closed.
