VII

The giant awoke in his easy chair,

Saying, “Ho, little Marjorie, are you there?

A stoup of wine, to be spiced the same!--

Exquisite Marjorie, _je vous aime_!”

Now where was Marjorie? Safe and sound

In the Magic Boot she cleared the ground.

Frodgedobbulum groaned--“I am bereft!

The left boot’s gone, and the right is left!--

The window’s open! I’ll bet a crown

The chit is off to Banbury town!

But follow, follow, my faithful Boot!

One is enough for the pursuit;

And back to my arms the wench shall come

As sure as my name’s Frodgedobbulum!”
