Be sure your fate

Be sure your fate
Doth keep apart its state,
Not linked with any band,
Even the nobles of the land ;
In tented fields wi'th cloth of gold
No place doth hold
But is more chivalrous than they are,
And sigheth for a nobler war ;
A finer strain its trumpet sings,
A brighter gleam its armor flings.
The life that I aspire to live
No man proposeth me ;
Only the promise of my heart
Wears its emblazonry.
