A gallant troubadour of the fairy queen who floated down
Hello everybody.
One again, here I am with. Two questions. Would you please tell me the answers?
‘Has your Highness seen the Lady viola
tonight?’ asked a gallant troubadour of the
fairy queen who floated down the hall
upon his arm. ‘Yes, is she not lovely,
though so sad! Her dress is well chosen,
too, for in a week she weds Count
Antonio, whom she passionately hates.’
‘By my faith, I envy him. Yonder he
comes, arrayed like a bridegroom, except the black mask..."
What does the first underlined mean? Does it mean the gallant troubadour asked a beautiful queen who was walking softly down the hall beside the gallant?
And what does by my faith mean?
Thanks so much for the help ??.
