It happened between March and May-day, When wood-buds wake which slumbered late, When hill and valley grow green and gaily, And every wight longs for a mate ; When lovers sleep with an open eyelid, Like nightingales on the orchard tree, And sorely wish they had wings for flying, So they might with their true love be ; A knight all worthy, in this sweet season Went out to Cardiff with bow and gun, Not to chase the roebuck, nor shoot the pheasant, But hunt the fierce fox so wild and dun. And, by ...his side, was a young maid riding. With laughing blue eyes, and sunny hair ; And who was it but young Dora Vernon, Young Rutland's true love, and Haddon's heir, 3 Her gentle hand was a good bow bearing ; The deer at speed, or the fowl on wing. Stayed in their flight, when the bearded arrow Her white hand loosed from the sounding string. Old men made bare their locks, and blest her. As blithe she rode down the Durwood side. Her steed rejoiced in his lovely rider. Arched his neck proudly, and pranced in pride.
