[QUOTE="Trouvere, post: 4045427, member: 37250"] "[COLOR=SandyBrown]We had a serious purpose in seeking out a collector of tales and songs, but I can see by the looks of panic growing in my companions' eyes that they fear they won't have the chance to hear one of my personal compositions performed with lute accompaniment! What a splendid opportunity! And of course, if the song takes your fancy, please add it to your repertoire... just mention my name now and then. It's a simple enough retelling of an old story, in my own words. Now, follow my lead. A few ornamentations of the vocal line will be quite enough.[/COLOR]" [INDENT]"Beneath a tall tower where ivy creeps For hour on hour a woman weeps. Wrothful, her father asks '[COLOR=PaleGreen]What is amiss? Will you not rather accept the kiss Of a mighty lord, with land and wealth As the meet reward for turning your health And person fair to the honest role Of bearing his heir?[/COLOR]' '[COLOR=Purple]Upon my soul, I'll never do this; I'll take no coin For any man's kiss; but I will join My one true love, who in your power Lies prisoner above in a cell of this tower.[/COLOR]' '[COLOR=PaleGreen]That shall not be, for at break of day He hangs from yon tree.[/COLOR]' Then with dismay She cries out aloud, '[COLOR=Purple]My love is true, So am I proud to keep faith too. Oh gods, be thou kind and grant him peace, Strength of his heart, and swift release, That well he may die, fearless and brave: Then I shall lie with him in his grave.[/COLOR]'"[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
