Excerpt from Poetical Remains, Social, Sacred, and Miscellaneous of the Late Edward Atkyns Bray, B. D. F. S. A, Vol. 2 of 2: Selected and Edited With a Memoir of the Author

Eas'r, for his peerless fair, each gallant knight, 'mid the throng'd tourney, his bright banner rour'd, And threw his glove, the challenge to the fight. And if to snatch it from the ground, appear'd A jealous rival on his barbed steed, 'twas theirs with joy the fair one's smile to court, Tho' naught, alas I but death was oft their meed For Beauty fled not from the savage sport. Tho' scenes of blood no longer please the fair, Still they a youth of manly courage prize, Who, justly proud their flowery chains to wear, Ne'er at the first repulse despairing flies. Deign, then, Maria! With a gracious smile To hear the herald that restores thy glove And be it, in a contest void of guile, A peaceful challenge to thy envied love 1.
