Rosemonde's Manor-House

Love, like a dog, has bitten me

with its sudden, voracious teeth...

Come, the trail of spilt blood

will enable you to follow my tracks.

Take a horse of good pedigree

and set off on the arduous route I took,

through swamps and overgrown paths,

if that's not too exhausting a ride for you!

As you pass where I passed,

you will see that I travelled

alone and wounded through this sad world,

and thus went off to my death

far, far away, without ever finding

Rosemonde's blue manor-house.
