Content am I my Saviour good
Should on this wood have set my choice.

Without one hour of war or strife
Through all my life at peace I fare;
Where better can I keep my tryst
With our Lord Christ, O brother Guare?


GUARE

My glorious Kingship, yea! and all
My Sire's estates that fall to me,
My Marvan, I would gladly give,
So I might live my life with thee.

Delightful here at Disert Bethel,
By cold, pure Nore at peace to rest,
Where noisy raids have never sullied
