A hundred easements blaze at night, and

With grape and pine and pasties fine, and all

Yet all were left untasted, the white wine

To seek a morsel at your board of curd and
barley bread"
Now look not here, bright stranger, for relish
for thy meat,
For hunger is the only herb to make the bit

A scarlet doublet laced with gold, with golden
fligree,
mantle and nodding plume-yet would

For yonder suit of sober gray that hangs
against the WALL

homespun fine;
Go battle with the northern blast, and thou
shalt call it thine"
"No lack have / of pastimo the leaaeHa hours

OF song and music for the mask, of weapons
for the chase;
Yet, troth above all others, that broadax
would try,
With which at nightfall from the wood you
hasten whistling by"
"Proud stranger, naught but labor my trusty
AK can prove,
And the wrestling with the forest is bread for
those 1 love"
"Yet patience, gentle graybeard A royal

An hourly presence at your hearth that will
