The Royal Bride

on BBC Radio 3

A moral (or immoral) verse-tale by LA FONTAINE in a new translation by SYDNEY BOLT
Reader Robert Eddison
Alaciel, a young Egyptian Princess, was universally admired for her virginal beauty. She was betrothed to a foreign king, and yet,
On different occasions she was seen
Eight times conjoining, eight times sundering;
Yet every time her conscience was clean.
She yielded out of gratitude, or tendering
Relief to others, or (her best excuse)
In order to escape some worse abuse
Directed by JOHN THEOCHARIS
