THE KNIGHT,.s TOAST

The feast is DER! Now brimming wine
In lordly cup is seen to shine
Before each eager guest
And silence f1lls the crowded hall;
As deep as when the heralds cati
Thrills in the loyal breast.
Then up arose the noble host.
And smiling cried: "A toast! toast
To all our ladies fair
Here before all, 1 pledge the name
OF Staunton's proud and beauteous
The lady Gundamere,"
Then to his feet each gallant sprang,
And Joyous was the shout that runS,
AS Stanley gave the word
And every cup was raised on high.
Nor ceased the loud and gladsome cry,
Till Stanley's voice was heard
"Enonsh. enough" he smiling said.
And lowly bent his ACughty head.
THAT all may have their due,
Now each in turn must play his part,
And pledge the lady of his heart,
Like gallant knight and true!
Then one by one each guest sprung up,
And drained in turn the brimming cup,
And named the loved ones name,
And each, as hand on high he raised
His lady's grace or beauty praised.
Her constancy and fame.
'Tis now st. Leon's turn to rise;
On him are fxed those countless eyes;
A gallant knight Is he:
Encied by some, admired by all.
Far-famed in lady's bower and hall
The flower Of chivalry.
st. Leon raised his kindins eye.
And lifts the sparkling cup on high;
II. drink to one he said.
Whose image never may depart.
Deep craven on this gratefu' heart,
Til memory be dead.
ITO ono whose love for me shall last
When lighter passions long have
passed,
So holy 'tis and true: n
To one whose love hath longer dwelt,
More deeply fxed. more keeniy felt,
Than any pledged by you'll"
Each guest upstarted at the word,
And laid hand upon his sword,
With fury flashing eye;
And Stanley said: We crave the
Proud knight. of this most peerless
dame,
Whose love you count so high"
ct. Leon paused as II he would
Not breathe her name in careless
mood.
Thus. lightly. to another:
Then bent his noble head. as though
To give that word the reverence due.
And gently said: MY Mother."
