Dorothy Parker - Guinevere At Her Fireside lyrics

A nobler king had never breath I say it now, and said it then Who weds with such is wed till d**h And wedded stays in Heaven. Amen (And oh, the shirts of linen-lawn And all the armor, tagged and tied And church on Sundays, dusk and dawn And bed a thing to kneel beside!) The bravest one stood tall above The rest, and watched me as a light I heard and heard them talk of love I'd naught to do but think, at night The bravest man has littlest brains That chalky fool from Astolat With all her dying and her pains! Thank God, I helped him over that I found him not unfair to see I like a man with peppered hair! And thus it came about. Ah, me Tristram was busied otherwhere A nobler king had never breath I say it now, and said it then Who weds with such is wed till d**h And wedded stays in Heaven. Amen
