\n<\/b>My lemman doth give me joy!
\n<\/b>All like the spring in may anew
\n<\/b>doth maketh the girl and boy
\n<\/b>dance in the meadow merrily.<\/b><\/p>\n
He bringth her to the field of play
\nwherein the tournament is held.
\nHer sleeve the gallant doth display,
\nno weapon better weld – \u00a0I see
\nCupid\u2019s conscript, love\u2019s devotee.<\/p>\n
He bringth her flowers of the field
\nAnd all good things that gather joy
\ne\u2019en those which cleverly concealed
\nhath made her lemman coy – it seems
\nas round us summer sunlight streams.<\/p>\n
My lemman doth give me joy!
\n<\/b>My lemman doth give me joy!
\n<\/b>All like the spring in may anew
\n<\/b>doth maketh the girl and boy
\n<\/b>dance in the meadow merrily.<\/b><\/p>\n
He walks her to the greeny glade,
\nupon his knee these words he said,
\n\u2018Ere we embark on our crusade,
\nO let us be wed – my heart
\nThat I from you shall never part.<\/p>\n
Agree, did she, that Swithins Day*
\nto stand with him in gale or sun,
\nin health and injury to stay.
\nAnd with the asking done – I see
\nher kin came forth at his decree.<\/p>\n
My lemman doth give me joy!
\n<\/b>My lemman doth give me joy!
\n<\/b>All like the spring in may anew
\n<\/b>doth maketh the girl and boy
\n<\/b>dance in the meadow merrily.<\/b><\/p>\n
Surprised the lady was to find
\nthere stood a servant of Our Lord.
\nFor hearts and souls and hands to bind,
\nand taketh down their word – my dear
\nwhile all around them friends appear\u2019d.<\/p>\n
Emboldened by their earnest vow
\nwith love she chided his deceit.
\nYet good intent can lies endow!
\nIn spite of their conceit – be bless\u2019d
\nWhen sweet with love they are confessed.<\/p>\n

*Notes<\/strong><\/p>\nLeeman<\/strong> is a word meaning “lover” used in Middle English love poetry.\u00a0http:\/\/www.thefreedictionary.com\/leman<\/p>\nSwithin’s Day:<\/strong> The events discussed in this work took place during a weekend of the Great Northeastern War in Malagentia, traditionally the weekend after July 4th, making it always in the ‘teens of the month of July. St. Swithin’s Day is July 15th, which I judged close enough. There are songs from the middle ages which mention the day, and since this is a bit of a small dance-like piece, it seemed fitting to reference it.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Swithun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
