Stephanus Marcus 22
Stephanus Marcus Book 1
Canto 5
Verse 1
At morning's light the driving rain stills scheme
to make Duke Morley's legions know retreat.
For summons late with Richard’s seal doth team
with rain to nullify lines defeat.
This message states for Saint, whatever feat
he might thus be engaged in, cease, don't wait
do instant haste to Donville Castle Seat.
On Saint's harsh soul such tidings surely grate.
Forsooth, Lord Saint is disillusioned by his fate.
