Belvisee and Mellifont lay beside her on the grass. Isoult lay on her face, while Mellifont coiled and knotted up her hair. "If love is giving, and you are a lover, Isoult," said she, "you would give your hair." "I have given it," said Isoult, and told them her story as they all lay there together.
"I will never have a lover, nor be a lover, until men know what love is," said Mellifont in her turn. "And what is love, do you think?" Isoult asked her thrilling. "Love! Love! It is service," said Belvisee. "Service and giving," said Mellifont. Isoult turned aside and kissed Mellifont's cheek. They had reached the low ground, for they had been walking during this colloquy.
Among those who suffered in the capital was the learned Jesuit, Henry Fitzsimons, son of a Mayor of the city, the author of Brittanomachia, with whom, while in the Castle, Usher commenced a controversy, which was never finished. But the terms agreed upon at Mellifont, between Mountjoy and Tyrone, again suspended for a short interval the sword of persecution.
On the 30th of March, 1603, Hugh O'Neill and Mountjoy met by appointment at Mellifont Abbey, where the terms of peace were exchanged. O'Neill, having declared his submission, was granted amnesty for the past, restored to his rank, notwithstanding his attainder and outlawry, and reinstated in his dignity of Earl of Tyrone.
Belvisee helped her up by the hand. When she was afoot Mellifont caught her other hand and kissed her in her turn a glad and friendly little embrace. Friends indeed they looked as they stood hand-linked in the fern. All three were of a height, Isoult a shade shorter than the sisters.
How cruelly they were then undeceived belongs to the history of the next reign; here we need only remark that the Articles of Limerick were not more shamefully violated by the statute 6th and 7th, William III., than the Articles of Mellifont were violated by this Proclamation of the third year of James I.
Before him Belvisee and Mellifont let go of Isoult's hand: she was to make her entry alone. She put them behind her back, hardly knowing what was expected of her, shrank a little into herself and waited timidly. Slowly then the great hart advanced before his peering courtiers, pacing on with nodding head and horns.
Thomas the Martyr's, Dublin, received £42 Irish, the Abbot of Mellifont £40, the Prior of Fore £50, the Abbot of Jerpoint £10, the Prioress of Grace-Dieu £6, the Abbess of Grane £4, and the Prioress of Termonfechin £1 6s. 8d., etc. Grants were also made to the members of the suppressed communities, but very frequently these were very small.
Did she speak to you about me?" "Often." "Is she ah, Lord of Hosts! she is not here?" "No, not now. She was here. Come with me. But you must leave your horse and sword behind you." Prosper obeyed her without a thought. Mellifont took his hand and led him to the hollow under the oak. Belvisee was there, dumbly nursing her side, which a stooping hind was licking when the pair came up.
The herd had scattered on all hands long before this. Mellifont saved herself with them, but Belvisee tarrying to help Isoult was caught. A great hound snapped at her as he passed; she limped away with a wounded side. Isoult, too much of a woman and too little of a hind, stood still. She had closed with Fate before.
