There was red wine flowing from the fagons,
The Jewel-crusted fagons slim and tall, 8
And a hundred toasts ringing down the hall;
For the baron held a feast at the castle,
The gay young baron, 1.-THE and TALL 2
From the dais steps the rad drums beating,
And the horns and the silver trumpets blowing,
And the quick sweet rasping of the fddles,
Set the dancers in the dance-room a-going; ~
And all through the palace ran the music,
Al d all night the red wine was flowing.
And the baron led the wassail and the dance, ~
The gay young baron, 1.-THE and tall,
With gallant smiles and jests for the lovely women
Till the cock crew athwart the castle WALL
But amid the lovely faces rising out of ruffs and
zen laces, - = ~ E '.' ~
One face for the baron shone fairer than them ALL
He had stolen from the drinking and the dancing,
He was standing in the doorway by her side;
He was praying, he was pleading and entreating.
A suit she coquetted and denied
He was praying, he was pleading and entreating
When the blast of bugle far and wide
Rang its clear silver treble in the courtyard,
Three times three, for sharp battle-call;
And the voice of trooper hoarsely shouted,
= "Ho, barons, for the king, one and ALP
Round and round, over hill and over valley,
Far and wide rang the sharp batte-call.
Round and round rang the news Of the rising,
The rising Of old Coventry that night;
And the barons, one and all, at the bugle's battle
call,
Mustered FORTH fifty strong, for the fight.
Corselets ringing, feathers hingng, pennons swing
z 0, must have been spirit-stirring sight!
Women's faces grew as white as the rose
The white rose oil York upon each breast;
Red lips in that moment lost their blooming
Gay hearts lnIthat moment lost their jest.
But out or ffty faces, -saddeDed,
There was one face sadder than the rest.
Eyes that moment since disdained him,
Lips that were laughing and denying,
Heart that c0quetted with its wooing,
Now on its wcoer's breast is lying;
While the bugle rings its blast and the troopers rat
O.. tie past,
2 Over hill and ever valley flying, flying.
And the baron rides last, but the baron rides fast
Over hill and over valley rides away;
With smile upon his face and with gallant grace,
As if he rode to tournament hunting holiday.
But in the early dawning, in the gray of the morn
ing,
In the front of the fight his white plumes play.
And in the early dawnng, in the gray of the morn
ing,
And the cavaliers are shouting, at the roundheads
= - routing,
Till over hill and valley comes creeping up the sun
Then the shouts and the cheers turn suddenly to
tears,
For there on the field, his brief race run,
White and still in the dawning of the wild autumn
White and still, in the chill of the new-risen day,
While the roundheads are flying the hero lies dying
Who SO late rode straight in the front Of the Fray
With smile upon his face, and with gallant grace,
As if he rode to tournament or a hunting holiday.
