“Thy tale is strange,” quoth Leoline,
“As thy return is sweet;
Yet might it please thee, brother mine,
In knightly sort to greet
This wondrous new-found Geraldine;
Certes, she is a thing divine,—
So bright in her doth beauty shine
From head to feet,
A wondrous creature, most divine,
For angels meet.”
“As thy return is sweet;
Yet might it please thee, brother mine,
In knightly sort to greet
This wondrous new-found Geraldine;
Certes, she is a thing divine,—
336
From head to feet,
A wondrous creature, most divine,
For angels meet.”
