Title: A Jongleur Strayed Verses on Love and Other Matters Sacred and Profane
Author: Richard Le Gallienne
Language: English
E-text prepared by Al Haines
Transcriber's note:
The word "beloved" appears in this book several times, in various upper and lower case combinations. Whatever the combination, in some cases, the second E in "beloved" is e-accent (É) and sometimes it is e-grave (È). Since I had no way of telling if this was what the author intended, or a typesetting error, or some other reason, I have left each exactly as it appears in the original book.
