Side 111 - ... called her to the banquet, I was careless as the sleeping morse, I was merry as the singers in the stars. Why, Ajut, did I gaze upon thy graces ? Why, my fair, did I call thee to the banquet ? Yet be faithful, my love, remember Anningait, and meet my return with the smile of virginity.
