At some time these rocks had been smitten so fiercely that the solid granite surfaces had shattered into fragments. At one place a sheer wall of stone, ragged and battered, looked harshly out from the thin vegetation. To this rocky wall the he-goat danced. At one place there was a hole in the wall covered by a thick brush. The goat pushed his way behind this growth and disappeared.
At last the assembly settled themselves to listen to the story of the vision in which a ram pushed westward and northward and southward, till a he-goat came from the west one with a notable horn between the eyes, and butted the ram till he had broken his two horns.
That kid could ride anythin' from a he-goat to a rampagin', highpottopotamus. Why, look here!" Ike waged enthusiastic. "He's been two years in this country, and he's got us all licked good and quiet. Why, he could give points to any cattle-man in Alberta." "Well, what's the matter with him?" "Money!" said Ike wrathfully.
Three hundred thousand rupees!" The man looked at the far horizon, as if he would force his gaze beyond, into the delectable land, the Eden out of which he had been driven. "Caviar and truffles, and Romanée Conti, and Partagas!" "Chicken and curry and Scotch whisky." "Bah! You've the imagination of a he-goat." "All right, Sahib."
"Have you really gone out or are you there, you he-goat?" asked a voice from time to time, changing the epithets but raising the tone. Finally, she commenced to take away the furniture from her barricade. He heard the noise and smiled. "Orderly! Has the señor gone out?" cried Doña Consolacion. The orderly at a signal from the alferez, replied: "Yes, señora, he has gone out!"
The king then went and sent his lads to the hunting-hill for a he-goat, and he gave its heart and its liver to his wife to eat; and she rose well and healthy. A year after this Silver-tree went to the glen, where there was the well in which there was the trout. "Troutie, bonny little fellow," said she, "am not I the most beautiful queen in the world?" "Oh! indeed you are not." "Who then?"
Mimicking his tone exactly, Alma finished the line: "And mind, Tityrus, that tawny Libyan he-goat lest he butt thee! Come, Rivers; free translation is allowable, considering surroundings, but not garbling; and every time you know you substituted flocks for goats. Proceed, and do not insult your pet author with emendations."
Leaving to antiquarians to sift the stories about the waggon of the strolling Thespis, the contests for the prize of a he-goat, from which the name of tragedy is said to be derived, and the lees of wine with which the first improvisatory actors smeared over their visages, from which rude beginnings, it is pretended, Aeschylus, by one gigantic stride, gave to tragedy that dignified form under which it appears in his works, we shall proceed immediately to the consideration of the poets themselves.
I had a short jacket of goat’s skin, the skirts coming down to about the middle of the thighs, and a pair of open-kneed breeches of the same; the breeches were made of the skin of an old he-goat, whose hair hung down such a length on either side that, like pantaloons, it reached to the middle of my legs; stockings and shoes I had none, but had made me a pair of somethings, I scarce knew what to call them, like buskins, to flap over my legs, and lace on either side like spatterdashes, but of a most barbarous shape, as indeed were all the rest of my clothes.
Out he peeped, and then he saw as clear as day what the strange steed was. He was riding upon a he-goat as black as night, and in front of him was the magician riding upon just such another, his great red robe fluttering out behind him in the moonlight like huge red wings. "Great herring and little fishes!" roared the fisherman; "it is a billy-goat!"
