Chapter 24 No.24

No more words. The stars are bright,

For the feast high halls be dight

Late he coucheth. Night-'t is night.

The dead king lying in state in the Minster holy.

Fifty candles burn at his head and burn at his feet,

A crown and royal apparel upon him lorn and lowly,

And the cold hands stiff as horn by their cold palms meet.

Two days
