A Song That Trostan Made

*

An Arthurian Miscellany
If I were a king's son

I would give you a white hound

In a leash of silver,

I would give you a white stallion

From over the sea.

I would give you a cloak of purple

Wrought with findruiny,

And shoes of white bronze,

If I were a king's son.

You would talk with me

In the bright-coloured palace:

You would be glad at my coming,

If I were a king's son.
