IV.
When came Sir Ranulph on one Friday morn,
And saw Sir Huon and his stately dame
Together in the garden, well he knew
Was happily solved the mystery of that pair
But not for him; and so he held his peace,
And leaving them, and going to the wars,
Was slain in a melée. No more of him.
And saw Sir Huon and his stately dame
Together in the garden, well he knew
Was happily solved the mystery of that pair
But not for him; and so he held his peace,
And leaving them, and going to the wars,
Was slain in a melée. No more of him.
But nevermore the Lady Kallimais
Knew change of form; the fearful doom had passed;
And lived her lord and she in happiness
For many years, and died upon one day.
From them the house of Tourblanc came, whose crest,
A tigress demi, with a woman's head,
Rampant, surmounts its arms, a turret argent,
Proper, upon an azure field displayed.
Knew change of form; the fearful doom had passed;
And lived her lord and she in happiness
For many years, and died upon one day.
From them the house of Tourblanc came, whose crest,
A tigress demi, with a woman's head,
Rampant, surmounts its arms, a turret argent,
Proper, upon an azure field displayed.
So ends the tale of Lady Kallimais.
