Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
So far hath he ridden that he is come forth of the forest and findeth a right fair meadow-land all loaded with flowers, and a river ran in the midst there of that was right fair and broad, and there was forest upon the one side and the other, and the meadow lands were wide and far betwixt the river and the forest.
"By my head," saith Lancelot, "Kay the Seneschal ought of right to take heed and with-hold him from doing you ill, but he departed from the field with the point of my spear in him when I rescued Messire Ywain." The knights are much comforted of the coming of Lancelot, but he is much grieved that he findeth so many of them wounded.
He says: "His meat is apples, worms, or grapes: when he findeth apples or grapes on the earth, he rolleth himself upon them, until he have filled all his prickles, and then carrieth them home to his den, never bearing above one in his mouth; and if it fortune that one of them fall off by the way, he likewise shaketh off all the residue, and walloweth upon them afresh, until they be all settled upon his back again.
'I think a'most he be the biggest dog I ever saw, assented mistress Rees. 'I would I were less about the shoulders, said Richard. 'Who ever heard a man worth his mess of pottage wish him such a wish as that, master Heywood! What would mistress Dorothy say to hear thee? I warrant me she findeth no fault with the breadth of thy shoulders.
It may be appropriate for us to review some of the passages which refer most directly to this subject: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
"Ebbene, old Penelli gouty so that he can scarce move hath a visit from our great mathematician Ghetaldo, who findeth with our magnificent patron of letters a friar to whom Penelli showeth such honor limping to the door with him, as if he were a prince that Ghetaldo, wrathful at this foolish waste over a friar, asketh his name with scorn.
"Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Rom. 12:21. "Be content with such things as ye have." Heb. 13:5. "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." Eccl. 9:10. "Let all things be done with charity." 1 Cor. 16:14. "Count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations." Jas. 1:2. "Keep thyself pure." 1 Tim. 5:22. "In everything give thanks." I Thes. 5:18.
Maternal love, therefore, does not require complicated organs; it needs neither brain, heart, nor senses, and seems almost to exist without matter; it is the force which life assumes to protect and preserve itself, a force which seems to exist before and to accompany creation, like that wisdom of which Solomon speaks: "The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.... When there were no depths, I was brought forth.... Then I was by him as a master workman, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him.... Whoso findeth me findeth life."
As they struggled, a voice came ringing through the passages, singing a bar from an opera: "Oh eager golden day, Oh happy evening hour, Behold my lover cometh from fields of wrath and hate! Sheathed is his sword; he cometh to my bower; In war he findeth honour, and love within the gate." The voice came nearer and nearer. It pierced the tragic separateness of the scene of blood.
