Stephanus Marcus 28
Stephanus Marcus Book 1
Canto 6
Verses 2 and 3
Young Guenevere did speak to Katharine.
"Yes, my strong leopard knight doth tarry late
and keeps the dale thus free and verdant green
till James on Whitsuntide then claims his mate.
Tis thee, dear Katharine, Prince James doth wait
to lead down aisle in happy wedded white.
And he with jewels most resplendent sate
this thy perfect neck seen then sparkling bright.
Thinks I in beautifying thee prince doeth right."
Then Katharine didst make response to maid.
"This day at Castle Morley father waits.
King Richard pays him visit I'm afraid.
Yes, I'll walk aisle in jewels my prince sates.
Large retinue of priests with shaven pates
will keep their time in rhythmic chanting praise.
As we walk aisle the kingdom celebrates.
In joyous adulation voices raise.
Soon we'll bless England's charming country many ways."
