Through this same man and me hath all this war been wrought, and the death of the most noblest knights of the world; for through our love that we have loved together is my most noble lord slain.

For as well as I have loved thee heretofore, mine heart will not serve now to see thee; for through thee and me is the flower of kings and knights destroyed.

And much more am I sorrier for my good knights' loss than for the loss of my fair queen; for queens I might have enough, but such a fellowship of good knights shall never be together in no company.

What God hath wrought?

The sweetness of love is short-lived, but the pain endures.

And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.
