She will not weep!" Then he went over in memory the various scenes of his life brilliant, useless, and without results when he was Heir-Apparent; he thought of his two young sons, Rupert and Cyprian, who were as indifferent to him as young foals to their sire, and anon, his mind turned more tenderly to his eldest-born, Prince Humphry, and the fair girl he had so boldly wedded, the happy twain, who, returning homeward, would find the Throne ready for their occupancy, and a whole nation waiting to welcome them.
The Gauchos employed here attribute it chiefly to the stallions constantly roaming from place to place, and compelling the mares to accompany them, whether or not the young foals are able to follow. One Gaucho told Captain Sulivan that he had watched a stallion for a whole hour, violently kicking and biting a mare till he forced her to leave her foal to its fate.
'Have you watched well and true the whole day? said he to Boots. 'I've done my best', answered Boots. 'Then you can tell me what my seven foals eat and drink', said the King. Then Boots pulled out the flask of wine and the wafer, and showed them to the King. 'Here you see their meat, and here you see their drink', said he.

The buildings formed three sides of a square: the fourth gave into a great paddock, part of the park, in which the horses galloped or the mares ran with their foals.
And if a dragon come against him, they fight with the dragon and defend the man, and put them forth to defend the man strongly and mightily: and do so namely when they have young foals, for they dread that the man seeketh their foals.
And soon as ever the seven Princes came out into the churchyard, they were turned into foals again, and so Boots got up on the back of the youngest, and so they all went back the same way that they had come; only they went much, much faster.
37 The term 'fruits, when used of animals, comprises their young, as well as milk, hair, and wool; thus lambs, kids, calves, and foals, belong at once, by the natural law of ownership, to the fructuary.
'Oh, very well, if thou art absolutely determined to have thy back flayed, thou may'st have thine own way if thou wilt, said the King. 'I would much rather have the Princess, said Cinderlad. Next morning, in the grey light of dawn, the Master of the Horse let out the seven foals again, and off they set over hill and dale, through woods and bogs, and off went Cinderlad after them.
