My Lady’s Farewell. By the Author of "John Halifax, Gentleman."
A woman leans over to embrace a knight atop a horse. A second woman holds her arm and pulls her back. The central woman wears a cross around her hips and the second woman wears a veil. Several armoured knights on horseback accompany the main knight. They hold lances, flags, and horns. The scene is enclosed in an arched frame. Full page width and 2/3 page height.
Go forth, go forth, my dearest ; The world is wild and wide, But ’tis not that thou fearest— Not that can us divide. I bless the cross upon thy breast, I kiss thee—lip and brow : Go forth upon thy saintly quest, And keep thy knightly vow. Go forth, my bravest, boldest— My own, my heart’s delight ; This tear that thou beholdest Stains not thy armour bright : The Christian armour, bright as strong, In which I made thee dress, The sword, to hew down mortal wrong, The breastplate, righteousness. Go forth, my best beloved ! And trust in God’s dear grace, That, every foe removed, Thou’lt meet me, face to face ; But if He not that guerdon gives, Die, as a good knight dies ; I, living as a true maid lives, We’ll meet in Paradise.
