Stephanus Marcus 2

Stephanus Marcus Book I Canto 1 Verses 2 and 3 Duke Saint Charles made unlawful claim to glade in vale where many game for chase did hide, without regard for sovereign's oath then made to Morley early day last Whitsuntide. Such oath was made baptismal time as plied when robes bedecked the holy people white. For pledging daughter, Katharine, as bride to sovereign's brother, James, with great delight. The chimes would peal amid autumn's cool saffron light. The Holy See had issued ringing chorus echoing Pontiff's edict fiat wide, that conquered sheikdoms be set free with force and Christians freed from danger need not hide. Thus Frederick and Philip swore to guide as many nobles willing bringing knights. Duke Morley's knights were missing leaders' tide as they went under grated gate with lights. Their torches glowed again for Liege as other nights.
