Act IV

Soon enough I did, at her request. 
I was to meet her courtiers, her friends. 
We went to hers first, but soon we stopped at another's. 
We stayed there for some hours,
Conversing and cursing some untouched jesters.

There was her compeer, and her compeer's companion. 
They, like twin faces of a some suited card,
Knew her more than I, and that was the case. 

And her cousin, sworded with grace of a swallow,
Took care to care for her and the compeers. 
They took onto me, not quite immediately.
I felt more a fly than I did a house. 

But they were kind enough, guiding me to a nature path. 
And we laughed and we laughed, 
And we laughed. 

We found ourselves not even till midnight,
But we were all ready to call it a good night. 
The compeers travelled home, the cousin stayed his.
She rested in her chambers, and I slept in some blackness. 

I left in the morning, alongside her, but she was leaving something behind.
