Sir Colin Wynthorpe
fallen in Spring Crown Tourney, A.S. XXIII*
(sonnet)
Lady: Pray, my Lord, what makes you so down-hearted?
XXXXXThe very sun doth pale to see you frown.
Lord: Good Lady, I had hopes when first day started
XXXXXOf placing on your head the silver crown.
XXXXUnto this end I took up sword and shield
XXXXAnd would have held my ground 'gainst all Caid,
XXXXBut Fate stepped forth at last and bade me yield.
XXXXAlthough I tried my best, I failed the deed.
Lady: Good Sir Knight, trouble not on my account,
XXXXXFor I would have your heart above all things.
Lord: My heart, dear Lady, never was in doubt.
Lady: What matters, then, this talk of queens and kings?
Lord: You do me honor, Lady, on this day.
Lady: 'Tis only but your honor I repay.
-- Lady Philippa Llewelyn Schuyler
