And yearn'd toward William; but the youth, because

He had been always with her in the house,

Thought not of Dora.

Then there came a day

When Allan call'd his son, and said, "My son,

I married late, but I would wish to see

My grandchild on my knees before I die;

And I have set my heart upon a match.

Now therefore look to Dora; she is well

To look to; thrifty too beyond her age.
