Great wonder to our gentle tribe it was Whenever from our valley he withdrew; For happier soul no living creature has Than he had, being here the long day through. Some thought he was a lover, and did woo: Some thought far worse of him, and judged him wrong: But Verse was what he had been wedded to; And his own mind did like a tempest strong Come to him thus, and drove the weary wight along.
Didn't I woo you with every trick I know, but with my whole heart, too, for all that? It's been a fair deal, old man. 'I'll never cease to wish you happiness, and I'll always regret any trouble I may have caused you. 'Regret nothing nothing! You've been a big joy to me, and you bore my tantrums like a brick.
"Yes, I know what you mean," replied the friend to whom he had said this: "the children were strewing flowers, and there were timbrels and harps, and they had crowned you with laurel leaves, as though you were a conquering hero." "Something of that sort," he returned laughing. "But you must not make fun of my sweet mistress from Parnassus; it kept me sane and cool to woo my reluctant Muse.
In the Nibelungen, Chriemhild is represented as the sister of Guenther the King of Burgundy; the gallant Siegfried having heard of her surpassing beauty, resolves to woo her for his bride, but all his splendid achievements fail to secure her favors.
And if there is any hope for you, you will know it soon; only as I told you once before, wait until the right moment comes, and then woo her quickly and courageously." For an hour they trundled along through the snow-clad country chatting commonplaces, and then Alice said: "Did you meet the island girl last summer that you told me Bert had fallen in love with?" "Only once," he replied.
I glanced at Mademoiselle, whose cheeks were growing an ominous red. "Well, Mademoiselle," I continued, "your father and Monseigneur de Mazarin appear to have bared their heart's desire to each other, and M. de Mancini was sent to Canaples to woo and win your father's elder daughter."
I ha' tried it. Mony was the year I looked for nought but my ain pleasure, and got it too, when it was a' "Sandy Mackaye, bonny Sandy Mackaye, There he sits singing the lang simmer's day; Lassies gae to him, And kiss him, and woo him Na bird is sa merry as Sandy Mackaye. "An' muckle good cam' o't. Ye may fancy I'm talking like a sour, disappointed auld carle. But I tell ye nay.
The nearer they stood to the door the prouder they were. 'It must have been dreadful! said little Gerda. 'And Kay did win the princess? 'I heard from my tame sweetheart that he was merry and quick-witted; he had not come to woo, he said, but to listen to the princess's wisdom. And the end of it was that they fell in love with each other. 'Oh, yes; that was Kay! said Gerda.
He went down the road calling, "Woo, woo, woo!" He would not even stop for his basket of cookies. Bushy-Tail called back, "Where they have gone to nobody knows, I'll find Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes." Bunny and Susan said, "We are glad to get out of the merry-go-round, but we must send word to Grandpa Grumbles not to let Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes out. Who will carry the message?"
Nor can we, who are removed from the temptations of the poor, temptations to which ours are as breezes which woo to storms which "tumble towers," nor can we tell how far the acerbity of want, and the absence of wholesome sleep, and the contempt of the rich, and the rankling memory of better fortunes, or even the mere fierceness which absolute hunger produces in the humours and veins of all that hold nature's life, nor can we tell how far these madden the temper, which is but a minion of the body, and plead in irresistible excuse for the crimes which our wondering virtue haughty because unsolicited stamps with its loftiest reprobation!
