So passed the days, nor often might it be
That such sweet hours as this the twain might see;
And they must watch that folk might not surprise
Their hearts' love through the windows of their eyes
When midst of folk they met; but glorious days

From all folk, though the great end lingered yet
When he sweet life, or glorious death, should get.
