Some Iesd the Kings face, some the greens, and a.

She, that I'D head the noise of be!J.e,
But sorrOvDg laneelOt shoald have stopped so low,
Nsued her finer d. ppiH. With paie tranquility.
81 ian The tale Ike fire cbout the court,
FDe IN dry s,ubble nine days wonder fared
Til ev n ,he knights at banquet t~oe or thrice
Forgot t. drink 70 Lane elot and the Queen,
And pleogirg Lsncelot and the lily maid
Smiled al each o.ber, while the Qaeon WHO sat
With lips severely placid felt the knot
C1mb il her throat and with her Tee, unseen
Crushed the wild passion ont aga nst tue toor
Beneath the banquet, where the meats became
As NORWOOD, and she hated all who pledged
Elaine, under tbe pretext Of conveying tho dis-
nond to its rghtful owner, persrades her brother
Sir Tore TO guide her to the hermitage where
L.sDeelot had found refuge, and was attended by
the other brother who went with him 70 the field:
And when they gained the eel in which he flept,
His battle written arms and mighty hands
Law naked on the w3l;.skiD, and dream
.Of Or aging down his enemy mode them move.
Then she that saw him lying unseek, unshc:n,
CANT as il were the skeleton Of himself,
Uttered q little tender doiOrOus cry.
The sound not wOrted in a place so still
Woke the SICK knight, and while he rolled his eyes
Yet bank from sleep, She start ID to him, saying,
4" Your urze the diamond sent you Oy the King
His eyes eh-,ened; she fancied, " Il 1t lor ne !
AND = her the maid had told ri II all the tale
OH and psioce, tbe diamond sent, tAe quest
Asigred TO her not worthy 0. il, she kne.t
Full WY by the corners II ms bed,
And lald the diamond in bis open hand
H.I foee was near, ana as We klss the chli'
That does the task assigned, be kissed her ace.
At once she sbpt hike water to the floor.
"Alas," he eaid, your ride has weaned you.
Rest must YOU have.' No rest Tor me, she sad
MAY for rear YOU fair lord, am at rest.
What might she mean by that his large black eyes,
Yet are ef through his leaDness, dwell upon her,
Till all her hearts lad secret blazed itself
In the hearts cOlOTs on her SIMPLE lace;
And I,ancelot hook cd and was peTpleAt III mind,
And being weak 10 body said no more
But did no; love the cOl.r v omsn's love,
Save one, be not Sea arded, and so turned
SiehDg and fegned sleep until he slept.
Then ar sc Flame and gnded through the fields,
And past beneath the wildly sculptured gates
Far up the dim rich city TO her KIM
There bOde the night: but woke with dawn, and past
Down through the din rich city TO the hedc,
Thence TO the save: day by day she past
In either twilight, gtostlke 70 aud fro
Giding and every day she tended him,
And hke ~lse many a night: end LanceIOt
Would thoagh he called his wound a little h1rt
Whereof he should be quickly whole at times
Bran-feverous in his heat anc agony seem
IJLcourteous, even he: but the meek mad
Sweetly forbOre hun ever, being TO hin
AeekeT than any child 10 a ROACH nurse,
Nilder than any mother to a SICK clnid,
And never woman yet, since man s hrst ian,
Did k,ndler unto man, but her deep love
Cpbure her; till The hermit, skilled Id Gil
The simples and the science OF that tge, 49,
Told him tina; her fine care had saved ms HE
And the sick man forgot her SIMPLE blash,
Would call her friend and sister, sweet Elaine,
Would listen for her coming, and regret
Her p,rtiuc step and held her tcndery,
And loved her with all love except the love
OF man and woman when they love Their best,
(losest and sweetest, and had dle1 the uealh
In ANY kuighy fashion for her sake.
Apo peradyenture had he seen her nrst,
She might nave made this and that other world
Another world for the sick man; out no~
The sbsckes Of an old love s,raltened nm,
HIS honor rooted in dishOnor stood,
And faith unfaith ful kept him falsely true.
I.snceot is now recovered, and returns with o. e
brother aud sister to Astolat, the family castle
There morn by morn. arraying her sweet self
In thu. wherein she deemed she looked her best,
She came before Sic Lancelot, for she thought
sIf be loved these are my es,al ropes;
Ii not the victim flowers before ne Tau.
And .nce OF ever pIest upon the maj
y'bst she should ask some gOodiy gilt Of him
E.,r her own self or hers; And do not shun
To sneak the wish most TO your tue neart;
Sach service have you done me, mat ! make
NV Will Of YOURS and Priuce and Lori am
In nine own land snd what l Will | can
Their ike a ghost she lifted mp her iace
But like q gnost without the power to speak,
And lsnceot saw that she withheld her WISH,
Ar6 boce among them yet a httle space
TIL he sho,ld learn it, aud one morn 1t chanced
lie found her IN among the garden yews,
And said " ID lay 10 ionges, speak yom "lSh'
Seeing must 90 today: then out she brake
"Gcinc ard we shall never see yOu more.
And must Die for want OF cIe bold word
"Sp4a,. that l live to hear he ssid "is yours.
Then Suddenly snd psssionatoy she spoke
~ have gore mad. l love you: lie; me die. -.
"Ah, sister answered Lancelot, what Is TINS
And inuoCeutly extending her white arms,
.'Y,nr lore" she said, your Gve-to be yoCr WIFE,
And Lancelot answered " Had chosen to wed,
had teen wooded earlier, sweet Elaine;
Bot now tlore never will be wife OF NINE.
