THE TALE OF ARCHAIS
Love that is lighter than scorn,
Love, that is strong as a king,
Love, through the gate that is horn,
Sing !
Then Charicles rejoicing quickly ran
And chose a lyre, and thus his song began
Rippling through melodies unheard of man.
SONG OF CHARICLES
Wake, fairy maid, for the day
Blushes our curtain to shake ;
Summer and blossoms of May
Wake !
Lilies drink light on the lake,
Laughter drives dreamland away,
Kisses shall woo thee, and slake
Passion with amorous play,
Clip thee and love, for Loves sake.
Wake and caress me, I pray,
Wake !
