Henry, even while calling for the tongs, was raking them out with his sword, and would have grasped them in his hand in a moment, but the Lord Mayor caught his arm. 'Pardon, my lord, and grant your new knight's boon. 'When he is not moon-struck! said Henry, still guarding the documents. 'Why, my Lady Mayoress, know you what is here? 'Sixty thousand, my liege, composedly answered Dame Alice.
"Sure I did," I went back, "and we're still in the Garden, aren't we? Of course, if you want to sub-let part of it and have Hep and his bride roaming moon-struck through your strawberry beds, that's up to you!"
And she thanked the Jackdaw till he grew quite modest and shy. "What is it for? What can you do with it?" he asked. "With this," she answered, "I can make anything beautiful come true! I can give you whatever you ask; you have but to ask, and you shall have." Then the little Jackdaw, being moon-struck, and not knowing the value of things, said, "Oh, if I could only sing like a nightingale!"
'Fool! whoever you are, he shouted, that his voice might fetch him help; 'none of these moon-struck ways with me! If you want to rob me, try it! "'You know too well who I am, I answered, as he made to push me back. 'Lord Castlewood, here you have the choice to lick the dust, or be dust! Here you forswore yourself; here you pay for perjury.
Convulsions, epilepsies, fierce catarrhs, Intestine stone and ulcer, colic pangs, Demoniac frenzy, moping melancholy, And moon-struck madness, pining atrophy, Marasmus, and wide-wasting pestilence, Dropsies, and asthmas, and joint-racking rheums. The very idea of our killing, and subsisting upon the flesh of animals, surely somewhat jars with our conceptions of infinite benevolence.
Overhead the nightingale sang, and the full moon shone; its rays struck down on the little Jackdaw's head. For a bird that is not a nightingale to wake up and find its head unprotected under the rays of a full moon is serious: there and then he became moon-struck. He went back into bed; but he was no longer the same little Jackdaw.
By and by the banks of the river grew lower and marshy, and in place of the larger forest-trees which had covered them stood slender tamaracks, sickly, mossy, looking as if they had been moon-struck and were out of their wits, their tufts of leaves staring off every way from their spindling branches. The winds came cool and damp out of the hiding-places among their dark recesses.
But when the moon-struck pair was foolish enough to say they did not know that he might not have been sent them instead of the still-born child that had hitherto been all their offspring, this was entirely too much for the nerves of the neighbours in general that peculiar people always better acquainted with one's affairs, down to his faults and up to his duties, than he is himself.

Is it not a spike with a green light at the end of it?" "My wand, my wand!" cried the fairy, beside herself with grief. "Just about sunset I was asleep in an empty wren's nest, and when I woke up my wand was gone!" Then the little Jackdaw, being moon-struck, and not knowing the value of things, flew up to the nest and brought back the fairy her wand. "Oh!" she cried, "you have saved my life!"
