“It shall be as thou wishest,” said the Dame: + 

“All cates and dainties shall be stored there + 

Quickly on this feast-night: by the tambour frame + 

Her own lute thou wilt see: no time to spare, + 

For I am slow and feeble, and scarce dare + 

On such a catering trust my dizzy head. + 

Wait here, my child, with patience; kneel in prayer + 

The while: Ah! thou must needs the lady wed, + 

Or may I never leave my grave among the dead.” + 
