Then his eye-sight roamed and browsed on the gardens of their beauty and he repeated these two couplets,
The actual descent occupied nearly two hours, and affords a curious study in aerostation. We fell near Neath, Glamorganshire, only one and a half miles short of the sea, completing a voyage which is a record in English ballooning ten hours from start to finish. * "By Land and Sky," by the Author.
The Maiden. Thou makest me lie down by the water-course, defiling my fair raiment! Daphnis. Nay, see, 'neath thy raiment fair I am throwing this soft fleece. The Maiden. Ah, ah, thou hast snatched my girdle too; why hast thou loosed my girdle? Daphnis. These first-fruits I offer, a gift to the Paphian. The Maiden. Stay, wretch, hark; surely a stranger cometh; nay, I hear a sound. Daphnis.
Wherefore, at length, she spake to him, low and sweet and humble, on this wise: "Art thou he whom men call Beltane the Smith?" He answered, gazing at her lowered lashes: "I am Beltane the Smith."
