From the spirit, that held him down!

Twas woe! to see an attractive maid,

So slurred, by a knightly bard,

A misery this, for her plaint of love,

To be grinned at, snubbed, and marred!

Yet ever again, did she give him a kiss,

And a lingering, coaxing smile,

But the spirit within, still held him down,

In a magical sort of style!

"O come get up out of that!" she cried,
