And thus as heartily fare you well, with all our children, as ye can wish. At Woodstock, the third day of September, by the hand of
Thomas More, 1480–1535.
PEASANT PAVO.
SWEDISH.
Mid the high bleak moors of Saarijärvis,
On a sterile farm, lived peasant Pavo,
And its poor soil tilled with care untiring,
Trusting to the Lord to send the increase.
Here he lived with wife and little children,
With them of sweat-earned bread partaking.
