The

sonnets of Belleau,
Offered by gallants ere they fight
For your delight;
And many fawning rhymers who
Inscribe their first thin book to you
Will contemplate upon the stair
Your slipper fair;
And many a page who plays at cards,
And many lords and many bards,
Will watch your going forth, and burn
For your return;
And you will count before your glass
More kisses than the lily has;
And more than one Valois will sigh
When you pass by.

Which, in the harbour, at a sound from bell, --
A word, were fit for action, night or day;

Of which she had usurped her sister's crown.

Till now they send him dreams and no more deed ; So doth he flame again with might for action,
