Definition

Borrowed from French envoi.

I will add the l’envoi. — Love's Labour's Lost, William Shakespeare
Envoi Yet, that day you tread the trail alone, With no slower comrade to escort On the path of spring with blossoms sown, You may deem me not so bad a sort, Smile and think, as one who would condone, "He was sure a perfectly good sport." — The Girl Philippa, Robert W. (Robert William) Chambers
ENVOI Let those whose Hearts and Hands are strong Tell eager Tales of mighty Deeds; Enough if my sequestered Song To hush'd and twilight Gardens leads! Clear Waters, drawn from secret Wells, Perchance may fevered Lips assuage; The Tales an elder Pilgrim tells To such as go on Pilgrimage. I wander by the Waterside, In that cool Hour my Soul loves best, When trembles o'er the rippling Tide A golden Stairway to the West. Such the soft Path my Words would trace, Thus with the moving Waters move; So weave, across the Ocean's Face, A glimmering Stair to Hope and Love. Printed by BALLANTYNE, HANSON & CO. Edinburgh & London — Paul the minstrel, and other stories, Arthur Christopher Benson
