Synopsis
Excerpt from The Wager and Other Poems
Here is the woman's name I was to learn This morning. Well, I trust the lips that earn My needed ducats are not Old. By heaven! That were an insult scarce to be forgiven, A jest to cost some drunken reveller dear. [glanees at t/ze letter. Claire! -claire de Chastel Blanc. I did not hear That name among the many tossed about On ribald lips last night. Perhaps a doubt, Or the Duke's presence, or a friend who knew TO check some reckless sot, held back the crew, Till at the gray Of dawn I homeward went, And left them babbling, on a choice intent.
