Ballade De Marguerite (Normande) by Oscar Wilde
By Oscar Wilde
I am weary of lying within the chase When the knights are meeting in market-place. Nay, go not thou to the red-roofed town Lest the hoofs of the war-horse tread thee down. But I would not go where the Squires ride, I would only walk by my Lady's side. Alack! and alack! thou art overbold, A Forester's son may not eat off gold.
