Therefore, lifting my gaze once more to Dian's placid loveliness, I breathed her a sigh of gratitude, for it seemed that she had shown me the answer to my question. And thus, my mind at rest, I presently fell asleep. "Oho hey hallo!"
Ever since one was a small boy, reading Stoddart's "Scottish Angler," and old Blackwood's, one had pined for a sight of "The Necromaunt," and here, clean in its "pure purple mantle" of smooth cloth, lay the desired one! "Like Dian's kiss, unasked, unsought, It gave itself, and was not bought," being, indeed, the discovery and gift of a friend who fishes and studies the Lacustrine Muses.
His audience, having put a yoke upon the dramatists by requiring a clown, his genius is betokened here by his making it an artistic advantage. 'The ancient privilege of Athens, I. i. 49. What was the position of the father toward the family in Attica? 2. 'On Dian's altar to protest, i. 98. Did the service of Diana offer women a respite from masculine dictation?
I couldn't help but compare Dian's action with that of a splendid young woman I had known in New York I mean splendid to look at and to talk to.
<b>EARL, MAUD.</b> A painter of animals, whose "Early Morning" was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1885, and has been followed by "In the Drifts," "Old Benchers," "A Cry for Help," etc. In 1900 she exhibited "The Dogs of Death"; in 1901, "On Dian's Day."
You add that the literary taste of the Upper Mississippi Valley is much more pure than the waters of her majestic river, and that you only wish you knew who the two culprits were that bought books of Fielding's.

The speaker had evidently but just entered, for he spoke in a loud tone, demanding the whereabouts of one whom he had come in search of. "Where are you, woman?" he cried. "Hooja has sent for you." And then a woman's voice answered him: "And what does Hooja want of me?" The voice was Dian's. I groped in the direction of the sounds, feeling for the hole.
It is the earlier verses that win you: "And silver white the river gleams As if Diana in her dreams Had dropt her silver bow Upon the meadows low." That is as good as Ronsard, and very like him in manner and matter. But the moral and consolatory application is too long too much dwelt on: "Like Dian's kiss, unasked, unsought, Love gives itself, but is not bought."

Notice the delicate appropriateness of Oberon's means of influence, namely Puck and the two flowers, the first being 'Cupid's flower, Love in idleness the second 'Dian's bud, introduced later to correct the influence of the first.
High noon is magical on Tree Day, for then the mythic folk of ancient Greece, the hamadryads and Dian's nymphs, Venus and Orpheus and Narcissus, and all the rest, come out and dream a dance of old days on the great green billows of the lawn.
