TRISTAN & ISOLDE ~ A Tragic Love Sonnet

 

 

ISOLDE WIH THE LOVE POTION ~ FREDERICK SANDYS 

 

TRISTAN  killed MOROLD ~ ISOLDE\'S Fiance

ISOLDE  was brought from IRELAND to be

MARKE\'S (King of Cornwall} ~ so sad Trophy Bride !

TRISTAN  was Marke\'s Nephew and Loyalist

ISOLDE  wanted to kill TRISTAN ~ and

HERSELF !  Asked Maid to prepare poison !

 

BRANGANG   prepares a Love Potion instead !

TRISTAN & ISOLDE  drink it and fall

DEEPLY in LOVE ~ before thy reach Cornwall !

MARKE  marries ISOLDE ~ but She has secret

TRYST with TRISTAN ~ they are seen by MARKE and

MELOT (LOYALIST) wounds TRISTAN ~ Flees to France

 

ISOLDE  comes to TRISTAN ~ But he dies

ISOLDE ~ overcome with grief ~ KILLS HERSELF !
