- A BROTHER TO DRAGONS.
- I.
- So I look at my hoe-handle, and say I, "My lady, it is known to me."
- Then saith he, "Butter, dost thou believe in love-philters?"
- Quoth I to Marian, "But, wife, may not malice invent these tales?"
- II.
- And he saith, "There is none higher."
- And my lord saith, "For her sake?"
- And he spoke again and said, "Thou wilt not go? Thou wilt be warned?"
- And again did the man answer, saying, "Impossible."
- III.
- And the boy said, "I told thee I would follow thee."
- And Lord Denbeigh answered him, "Dost thou know of what thou speakest?"
- And she saith unto him, "Say on."
- And she said again, "Say on."
- IV.
- Then saith he all at once, "The Queen hath sent for me--I must to war."
- Then she saith unto him, "Tell me. Quick, quick!"
- THE FARRIER LASS O' PIPING PEBWORTH.

- NURSE CRUMPET TELLS THE STORY.
- Well, to continue--
- He saith again, "My lady."
- And he said, "But thou art glad to see me?"
- He said, "How dost thou mean for me?"
- She said, "Yea; but call me Marian to-day. It is to my whim."
- He said, "Is this the end?"
- Jock answered him, "He is gone, my lord."
- Afterwhile she saith, almost in a whisper, "But thou needst not go?"
- He said, "Darling, how dost thou mean?"
- He said, "Patience, Patience, thou wilt break mine heart."
- He said, "There is nothing here, sweetheart, but a monstrous damp odor."
- At last she answered him, saying, "I jest not."
- His voice changed somewhat, and he said, "What dost thou, then?"
- He said, in a loud voice, "God will not suffer it."
- She said, "Thy life is more to me than thy honor."
- I could not answer her for sobbing.
- And she said, "Do they sleep?"
- THE END.
- TONY, THE MAID.
