“THE. RYDER’S TALE OF Across the halle we herde a buzzinge noise. As merits of a peepe, yet notte annoys. Sir Ayers was fashioning a monstrous boatc Swich either on the air or sea niightc tloate. Sir Wright wcr not righte fattc and undertake But looked som fragil like he niightie breake. Then passinge on. more workke to inspcctc To Lady Rosenberger wente directe. The wimpel about her necke ful scmely wcr To lookke trim the muchc she wolde prefer. And I-ady Whipple, eyen greyc as glas In neatness too was striving to surpassc. Next Lady Crowe, whose sympathies arous If that she sawe a creatur as a inous Caught inne a trappe, if it did kick or squirnime; In other roomc ther was a Knightc preside Longe was his goune with sleeves moste short and wyde In yon great hand he bar a niightie rood Twas brave Sir Nowline on him never trod! Then Greeke we herde. with Ladv Morey who Wor goune of blaeke as did Sir Lnhy too; This Knight was studentc well as epicure 'Twixt cheese and chess his time divided wcr. I' passing on, the Lady Foxe we mette Instructing to the use of epithet Then Lady Voorhcc:—leeching all by note Wei coude she singe and plcyen on a rote. From cross the halle beemed Lady Crowder’s face And Sir de Mare, artist to His Grace: Nowhere so busy a man as he thernas. And yet he seemed busier than he was. Aboute the sunne. an’ moone, an' stars Sir Graves Coude satisfy what e’er that one niightc crave; Righte close he seemed with youngc Sir Bonnificlde; Withe drop of bloode ther friendship true wcr sealed— The latter strongc was as a champioun; lie knewe the tavernes wel in everie tonne Sir White was one whose speech wer wel to quote For everie statnt coude he pleyn by rote. The Ladyes Wolfson, Magcrle, and Ware. Fluhart, Morgan, Curtis—all wer ther. Much wolde they rather hav to looken thrugh Ful twentie bookies clad in red or bln Of Aristotle and his philosophic Than robes rich or fithele or gave sautrye Sir Dillenbcck enthroned upon the floore Wer teachinge al that makes the orator. The public speakeres he dcvclopt there Shoude cause the worlde to stoppe a bit and stare. Ladyc Steele hade latoun cross with stones And in a glas she hadde pigges bones. Sir Templin was a man of even lengthe And wonderly delivere and greet of strengthe. While Sir Bennett had not so tallen growe Though cpiik he was. and chirped as a sparowe. Sir Wallace borne him wel in little space In hope to standin’ in his lady’s grace. Sir Hernandez wer Knight of late appointe: CENTRAL SCOLL” Continued He was a lordc ful fat and in goode pointc. Ilis cyen steppe and rollinge in his heedc That stented as a fourneys of a leed. N’exte Ladye Creager itt a balconie Wer teachen French to classc of two or thre. In felowship wel coudc she laugh and carpc; The Lady Burrill wer ther to as sharpe. For remedies of Love she knew perchaunce That she pleyed in that arte the olde daunce. Ladye Denny watched o’er squires asleep ; Wel coude she carie a morsel and wel kepe; She let no morsel from her lippes fa lie— I'or ther was nought to speake in Study-halle. Next to Sir Hamilton in “gym we strape; He made his tnanhoode mightier daye by daye. Ami by his syde wer Lady Rlatchley place To teachen laydes yottnge to walk with grace. Rut now we nearen to our journie’s ende And many flights of stair we hav desccnde. Into a mightier room our course we steer; The records of the castle wer kepe ther: A Ladye Shanklin hade this charge in hande; A bettre one was nowhere in the landc. Singingc she wer or flotinge al the daye: She wer as brighte as is the monthe of Maye. Ther also was a manly personage I)e Maurie Thurmond, acting as a page. While talkinge here of things which ’fore had gone Into the roonic ther came the Lady Strauchon. Her manner charming and 1 founde that she Was brinuningc with originalitc. Before I left I met the Lady Wheeler, She wer a verray partit praktisour; She knew the cause of everich maladve, Wer it of hoot, or cold, or moyste, or drye. With sun righte overheed, a bell wer run 'I'he castle’s lessons for that daye wer done; Still lingcringe. 1 watched Sir Coll, a wee () inightic midst the meats and drinks was he! He fed them al with safety and despatch; For quickness I have never seen his match. In pointe of fact this schoolc wer wondrous neet It never coude hav been the more complect. With tyme curtailed 1 bade farcwcl to al And hastened Domo on beyonde their wall. 'I'he daye was old and dimme, the sun wer down Behind yon western slopes so sear and brown: Upon another meltinge cloude it shonne In ever shiftinge shades of crimson tonne. Old Domo bore me on as oft afore New wonders lay before us to explore; Tho out of sighte. yet never out of minde. The castle bolde lay many miles behinde,— And thus I shall recall it to the last With sweet old recollections of the past: The memory of days my youth have cost— Those days now gone forever, but not lost.
