Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Maid's Forgiveness
Who with her music soothed his griefs to sleep, That he would send for her to comfort him. Queen. I found her sitting in the anteroom, Her heart and instrument alike unstrung, Weeping alone. This cannot be endured. Gaston, the prince and you must leave at once. Depart at eventide and secretly. Some fearful power begins to Operate Which I have long awaited inwardly. The king's mind crumbles; and his towered strength Topples to ruin, while my Wolfram's eyes Glass the oncoming storm. Myself have naught to dread, though ?esh and blood Dreads the unknown. This sickness of the king's Began ere I was married. He was then Upon the great Crusade, companioning Godfrey de Bouillon to the sepulchre. But dost thou know these things? Gaston. I know the king, in following a vow Queen. A vow he ne'er fulfilled! The messengers Announcing his succession to the throne Found him at Wittelsbach, and he returned To make our marriage; leaving, as they said, More than his vow behind.
