Robbins Library Digital Projects Announcement: We are currently working on a large-scale migration of the Robbins Library Digital Projects to a new platform. This migration affects The Camelot Project, The Robin Hood Project, The Crusades Project, The Cinderella Bibliography, and Visualizing Chaucer.

While these resources will remain accessible during the course of migration, they will be static, with reduced functionality. They will not be updated during this time. We anticipate the migration project to be complete by Summer 2025. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at robbins@ur.rochester.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Sir Dagonet

To such deep hate my lord has come
For blood that once was spilt:
Mark only how his fingers drum
Upon the shining hilt!

Once I smiled into his eyes,
And he smiled back again;
But fear-in-love has made me wise
To hide me from his pain.

If I but were his littlest page,
My dagger were so keen,
Were his foe's heart on Mary's knee,
I'd strike it swift and clean.
There should be healing for his rage,
His flaming hate run cool,
If I his littlest page might be:
Now God in mercy pity me
Who am my master's fool!
