We are now in the royal bridal chamber,
whither King Gustavus led his third consort.
Catherine Steenbock, also another’s bride, the
bride of the Knight Gustavus. It is a sad
story.
Gustavus of the three roses, was in his youth
honoured by the King, who sent him on a
mission fo the Emperor Charles the Fifth. He
returned adorned with the Emperor’s costly
golden chain – young, handsome, joyous and
richly clad, he returned home, and knew well
how to relate the magnificence and charms of
foreign lands: young and old listened to him
with admiration, but young Catherine most of
all. Through him the world in her eyes became
twice as large, rich, and beautiful; they became
dear to each other, and their parents blessed their
love. The love-pledge was to be drunk, – when
there came a message from the King, that
young Knight must, without delay, again bear a
letter and greeting to the Emperor Charles.
The betrothed pair separated with heavy hearts,
but with a promise of mutual inviolable troth.
