Читать книгу The Lady of Loyalty House: A Novel - McCarthy Justin Huntly - Страница 1

Take for our lady’s loyal sake

This vagrant tale of mine,

Where Cavalier and Roundhead break

A reed for Right Divine,

A tale it pleasured me to make,

And most to make it thine.

The Solemn Muse that watches o’er

The actions of the great,

And bids this Venturer to soar,

And that to stand and wait,

Will swear she never heard before

The deeds that I relate.

But all is true for me and you,

Though History denies;

I know thy Royal Standard flew

Against autumnal skies,

And find thy rarest, bravest blue

In Brilliana’s eyes.
