Then pumie stones I hast'ly hent,

And threw; but nought availed:

He was so wimble and so wight,

From bough to bough he leaped light,

And oft the pumies latched:

Therewith afraid I ran away;

But he, that erst seem'd but to play,

A shaft in earnest snatched,

And hit me running in the heel:

For then I little smart did feel,
