A Hamlet For A Slothful Vassal
Behold a jocund morn indeed! - Sun on high - birds in the sky. Yonder the whist firth eathing, Fro where a gale erranteth.
Ye beholdest but the shadow. That is a lie! Mayhap a tithe of trothplight - Lief I am not! I deem - e'er and anon! My words are but a twist. 'Tis a feigned lie through loathing, I say!
To and fro, save hither, Is thy love.
A dotard gaffer, I daresay...
Not a loth! - But vying for my kinsmen!
...a sapling not!
Beautiful tyrant! Fiend angelical! Dove-feathered raven! Wolvish-ravening lamb! A hamlet for a slothful vassal - Soothing ale for a parched sot. Hie to tell me What ye judgest as naught; I behold the shadow!
Wherefore call me such names; Nay imp am I! Thou art my aghast hart! - Grazing in the glade.
E'er thou sayest aye! That is a lie! Thief of the plot! Lief I am not! Now go to thy tryst! My words are but a twist! Go, leave totter! - Fare well! - with joy I came, Until ye twindlest. With rue I leave. A morsel nay more, Even the orb cannot For thy journey Help me melt the ice?! Hither and thither!
