FOR LOVE.
For love the valiant knight of old. In armor bright and spirit bold. At joust the tourney fierce would ride, With plume and lance, when heralds cried, Though sometimes in the dust he rolled. And furthermore, ’tis even told. The fair one still remained cold. Perchance the hapless wooer died For love!
Alas! now other customs hold! When hearts and hands are won by gold. And true and brave must stand aside. While Cupid lad goes hungry-eyed. What knight would sleep beneath the mould For love ?
