And while he march'd with helm on head,
And harp in hand the descant rung,
As faithful to his favorite maid,
The minstrel burden still he sung ;
** My arm it is my country's right,
My heart is in my true love's bow'r;
mm.
Resolved for love and fame to -fight,
I come, a gallant Troubadour V
^S'en when the battle's roar was deep,
With dauntless heart, he hew'd his way,
'Mid splintering lance, and falchion's sweep,
Yet still was heard the warrior lay :
u My life it is my country's right,
My heart is in my lady's bow'r ;
For love to die — for fame to fight,
Becomes the valiant Troubadour !"
Alas ! upon the bloody field,
He fell beneath the foeman's cleave ;
But still, reclining on his shield,
Expiring sung th' exulting stave :
" My life it is my country's right,
My heart is in my lady's bow'r ;
For love and fame to fall in fight
Becomes the valiant Troubadour !"
And while he march'd with helm on head,
And harp in hand the descant rung,
As faithful to his favorite maid,
The minstrel burden still he sung ;
** My arm it is my country's right,
My heart is in my true love's bow'r;
mm.
Resolved for love and fame to -fight,
I come, a gallant Troubadour V
^S'en when the battle's roar was deep,
With dauntless heart, he hew'd his way,
'Mid splintering lance, and falchion's sweep,

My heart is in my lady's bow'r ;

Expiring sung th' exulting stave :

For love and fame to fall in fight
Becomes the valiant Troubadour !"
