Seite 185 - Every day at early morning, To despite me more. I wist. He who slew my sire doth ride by, With a falcon on his fist. ' At my tender doves he flies it ; Many of them hath it slain. See .' their blood hath dyed my garments With full many a crimson siain. • List ! — The king who doth not justice. He deserveth not to reign ;
