"Alas, alas! if thy mother knew it,
Sadly, sadly, would she rue it."
The princess was very gentle and meek, so she said nothing to her
maid's ill-behaviour, but got upon her horse again.
They all rode further on their journey, till the day grew so warm and
the sun so scorching that the bride began to feel very thirsty again;
and at last, when they came to a river, she forgot her maid's rude
speech, and said--
"Pray get down, and fetch me some water to drink in my cup."
