L'am-coté

upon thy land
dwelled the rightful heir
to a king's greatest treasure;
T'alc-noél.

now,
Rah-rüt lies buried at La'Nova;
G'ive-en-rue a constant
reminder to repent
and pray for mercy.

thy cloak hides
thy chivalry well;
thy shame
perplexes me..

Very well written Sir I do think you have captured it very well.

in my search to fully understand I found this I would like to share,.. and then I would go forth hunting again!

the man behind the words, educated in the best common schools in the
world, — so it is the latent heat of character, the force' behind
the words, that gives them momentum and projects force
The same words, coming from one person, are as the idle wind
that kisses the cheek,coming from another, they are the can-
non-shot that pierces the target in the bulls eye. The thing
said is the same in each case, the enormous difference lies in
the man who says it. The man fills out, crowds his words
with meaning, and sends them out to do a giant's work, or he
makes then, void and nugatory, impotent to reach their destiny-
or to do any execution should they hit the mark. The
weight and value of opinions and sentiments depend often times
less upon their intrinsic worth than upon the degree in
which they have been organized into the nature of the person
who utters them,their force, less upon their inherent power
than upon the latent heat stored away in their formation, which
is liberated in their publication.

thus in this I do not only find a masterpiece of brilliance but also is the above proved here daily,...
This piece, to me has very personal meaning and I will hold it dear for what it means to me.

Nala

I am stunned and in awe of your ability to read what is written Ronel. Thank you so much. Nicky - thank you for your comment as well.

dont be I understand your words- not the letters but the true words

the letters are the words, re-arranged.

bouncy bouncy;...

I shall watch Hamlet before I comment Sir

mmm - ander era hier ter sprake, maar half in dieselfde gees sou ek wou waag. Dit sal interessant wees om jou kommentaar te lees as jy klaar Hamlet gekyk het. Nou's ek nuuskierig.

gee my net 'n kansie, ek moet net mooi dink ook, belowe ek sal dit die moeite werd maak

I shall wait ever so patiently upon your return my dear lady.
