Stephanus Marcus 24

Stephanus Marcus Book 1 Canto 5 Verses 4 and 5 "King Richard, you do me now great respect. Methinks that I'm not worthy my Lord, Sire. Such lofty new position I suspect should be for noble wearing fine attire. All my rags need to be reduced with fire. Duke Morley seems deserving honor bright for he affects rich raiment needing hire of tailors sewing clothes for liege just right. Now he presents to view an ostentatious sight." " You're my good faithful vassal standing grave. Now make a promise I require this day, for I esteem you're worthy, Saint, not knave to show Islam the true and righteous way. And garments never made the knight I say, for neither armor bright nor destrier bold reflect true soul; for thee now I do pray you'll see the right and sail with me as told. Salaam will be changed, Saint, reflecting Christian mold."
