Who rode the country; hunting was his sport

Many a dainty horse he had in stable
His bridle, when he rode, a man might hear
Jingling in a whistling wind as clear
Aye, as loud as does the chapel bell

And knew the remedies for love’s mischances
An art in which she knew the oldest dances                                                                                                          Powervrouw
