Excerpt from Tramps and Troubadours The Order of the Wine Cup Prelude - First Day It was the year one thousand and ninety-nine, Early in the morning just after nine, As near as could be told in early June By the dial in Boieleux. A tune Someone was tripping on the mandolin, And some were dancing with delightful spin On a broad mead in front of four high towers Defended by a moat. Orange bowers Encircled the fair green where many sipped The mellow juices of the grape. The dancers skipped About right gleefully, and damsels smiled, In many coloured kirtles bright. Beguiled Were all men's minds by the fair summer scene, Many ladies fair wandered about to preen Their beauty in the gaze of Love, tall knights Accoutred now in simple garb, from fights Repaired to peace, paced up and down. There laugh The peasants out for holiday to quaff About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
