Farnol, Jeffery, 1878-1952

"The Geste of Duke Jocelyn"


Quoth he: "Enough, Sir Knight! Here is no place for love! For inasmuch as
we--"
THE KNIGHT: Gentle Herald, I being here, here is Love, since I am lover,
therefore love-full, thus where I go goeth Love--
The Herald: Apprehend me, Sir Knight! For whereas love hath no part in--
The Knight: Noble Herald, Love hath every part within me and without, thus
I, from Love apart, have no part, and my love no part apart from my every
part; wherefore, for my part, and on my part, ne'er will I with Love part
for thy part and this to thee do I impart--
"Sweet Saints aid us!" The Chief Herald clasped his massy brow and gazed
with eye distraught. "Sir Knight--messire--my very good and noble Lord of
Tong--I grope! Here is that which hath a seeming ... thy so many parts
portend somewhat ... and yet ... I excogitate ... yet grope I still ...
impart, part ... thy part and its part ... so many parts ... and roses ...
and songs o' love ... a lute! O, thundering Mars, I ... Sound, trumpets!"
But the Duchess up-starting, silenced Herald and trumpeters with imperious
hand.
