From a 13th Century Manuscript
Camertonia 16 Part 1 (1976) p. 2.
In April and May, when the fields and the hedges grow green again, and every living thing recovers its power, its beauty and its strength, the hills and its valleys echo to the sweet birdie’s songs, and the hearts of all men leap with joy for the beauty of the time and season. Then, too, should we remember the adventures and doughty deeds of men of old, our ancestors, who laboured loyally in quest of honour. Their lives may be a lesson to us’.
