Stephanus Marcus Book I Spenserian Stanzas
Canto 1
Verse 1
Behold the knight as prancing steed doth seek
to stray from line behind man's comrades brave.
With gentle rein he stays the gait oblique
and makes the dancing gelding know, behave!
Some people wait to see them leave and wave
as riders file toward raised portcullis gate.
Sad families pray for peace in chapel's nave
that Virgin might assuage Duke Morley's hate.
Lord's mind's been troubled by Duke Saint Charles sore of late.
