The first stanza of the poem sets the scene. It was considered "royal sport" at the time for nobles in King Francis's court to watch lions fight among themselves. Among the nobles sitting in the arena during the incident in questions is the Count de Lorge, and the beautiful lady who is the object of his desire.
The second stanza describes the violence and bloodshed involved in the sport. The lions "ramp and roar...with horrid, laughing jaws," and the carnage is such that one of the onlookers comments that it is a good thing that the noblemen and women are watching from their vantage point safely above, rather than being among the beasts below.
It is clear that the Count no longer wants to marry the lady. By asking him, for no other reason than to demonstrate her power over him, to risk his life to fetch her handkerchief, she has shown her true nature and her vain and unloving character.
