"Here," said he, pausing, "is Huntley Bank, on which Thomas the Rhymer lay musing and sleeping when he saw, or dreamt he saw, the queen of Elfland: "'True Thomas lay on Huntlie bank; A ferlie he spied wi' his e'e; And there he saw a ladye bright, Come riding down by the Eildon tree.
'My dear young lady, I should like to be able to reassure you; but it is kindest sometimes, you know, to be candid, however it may hurt. It has been my experience that, when jealousy flies out of the window, indifference comes in at the door. In the old days a knight would joust for the love of a ladye, risking physical injury rather than permit others to rival him in her affections.
The treatment of Paul Laurence Dunbar's "Southern Lullaby" is unusual, and the songs, "My Ladye" and "The Ideal," both in MS., are noteworthy. Gilchrist has written a vast amount of religious music, including several "Te Deums," of which the one in C and that in A flat are the best, to my thinking.
It was true, indeed, that he was still a boy, with no passion for any one but his mother; but had he even formed a dream of a ladye love, it would scarcely have been deemed a rational objection. The days of romance were no days of romance in marriage. Yet Christina, wedded herself for pure love, felt this obstacle strongly.
"You've oft repeated that assertion, Sweet William, just what do you mean by it?" "What I say, Faire Ladye! There's something rotten in the state of Denmark, there is that!" "But why are you so anxious to see her father's letters?" "They're part of the queer element. Have you ever seen her get one, or read one from him?"
When light through the lattice-pane stole once more, It was gray as a wintry dawn, And the bishop lay cold on the regal floor, With a stain on his robes of lawn. Lord Ronald was standing beside the dead, In the scabbard he plunged his sword, And with visage as wan as the corpse, he said, "Lo! my ladye hath kept her word.
"And soothe men say that he was not the sonne, Of mortal sire or other living wighte, But wondrously begotten and begoune By false illusion of a guileful sprite, On a faire ladye nun." In these verses the poet has preserved the popular belief with regard to Merlin, who is generally supposed to have been a contemporary of Vortigern.
In vain all the knights of the Underworld woo'd her, Though brightest of maidens, the proudest was she; Brave chieftains they sought, and young minstrels they sued her, But worthy were none of the high-born Ladye.
Ross had turned to her was holding out his arms to her. "You won't go, my darling!" he said. "I am going Wednesday on the 7.10," said Diantha. "Lovest thou me?" said the Fair Ladye; And the Lover he said, "Yea!" "Then climb this tree for my sake," said she, "And climb it every day!" So from dawn till dark he abrazed the bark And wore his clothes away; Till, "What has this tree to do with thee?"
"Jove you speed, fair ladye, he said, Among the leaves that be so greene, If I were a king and wore a crown, Full soon faire Ladye shouldst thou be queene. Then she sang Downe a downe, hey downe derry!" Landon looked up at him with a dark smile. "Those laugh best who laugh last!" he muttered, "And a whistling throstle has had its neck wrung before now!"
