I am sometimes
disposed
to repent that I did not let Charles buy
Vernon Castle, when we were obliged to sell it; but it was a trying
circumstance, especially as the sale took place exactly at the time
of his marriage; and everybody ought to respect the delicacy of those
feelings which could not endure that my husband's dignity should be
lessened by his younger brother's having possession of the family

And, rank by rank, we soaped the plank,
And clattered with the pails.

Juturna took her t_me, and, while in vain He strove, assum'd Meticus' form again,
And, in that ,mitated shape, restor'd
To the despairing prince h,s Dauman sword
The Queen of Love, who, with disdain and grief, Saw the bold nymph afford this prompt rehef,
T' assert her

with a greater deed, From the tough root the ling'ring weapon freed.

Here then, we seem
for the first time in our sources to meet with a definite military tenure,
but it differed from the later knight's service in that the thegn fought on

his service on behalf of his
lord's estate and not in respect of his own holding.
