Sir Jacob Maxamillion of the Black Forest - Figher Poem - triolet

Sir Jacob Maxamillion of the Black Forest
fallen in Spring Crown Tourney, A.S. XXX

(triolet)

Nuela waits with baited breath -
The sight of Jacob fills her eyes!
To strive for Crown his holy quest.
Nuela waits with baited breath
As Jacob battles very Death -
His reach falls just short of the prize.
Nuela waits with baited breath;
Last sight of Jacob fills her eyes.

-- Mistress Philippa Llewelyn Schuyler
