Time & Brevity
The Sleep of Sigismund: XXX
From Poems by Jean Ingelow, In Two Volumes, Volume II.
Time & Brevity
A page and a palfrey pacing nigh,
Malva the queen awakes. A sigh--
One amazèd moment--'Ay,
We remember yesterday,
Let us to the palace straight:
What! do all my ladies wait--
Is no zeal to find me? What!
No knights forth to meet the king;
Due observance, is it forgot?'
