THE LADY AND THE TROUBADOUR.

_For the Table Book._

[Emeugarde, daughter of Jacques de Tournay, Lord of Croiton, in

Provence, becoming enamoured of a Troubadour, by name Enguilbert de

Marnef, who was bound by a vow to repair to the Camp of the Crusaders

in Palestine, besought him on the eve of his departure to suffer her

to accompany him: de Marnef at first resolutely refused; but at

length, overcome by her affectionate solicitations, assented, and was

joined by her the same night, after her flight from her father’s

chastel, in the garb of a guild brother of the joyeuse science.
