Then the princess’s godmother said that the princess for once was quite, quite right—that Robin must have the three cartloads of gold coin drawn by six mules, and the tarts and honey for his mother, and whenever the princess gave another party she must ask him to open the dance with her, blue velvet suit or no blue velvet suit—“because,” said the godmother, “there is one thing better than wisdom or swiftness or clear sight or strength, and that is a loving heart.”
But Elizabeth had gone to sleep.
By Theodore C. Williams
Two honey-bees half came to blows
About the lily and the rose,
Which might the sweeter be;
And as the elephant passed by,
The bees decided to apply
To this wise referee.
