What that famous blackbird-pie really +cost--except in black-birds--is not disclosed, though the King seemed to +show some anxiety about the state of his treasury, as he was discovered +"in his counting house" imediately after the feast. But while the Queen, +regardless of expense, regales herself on "bread and honey" in "the +parlour", and her Maid-of-honour, or perhaps of-all-work, is engaged at +the clothes-line, nothing is said about a princess. + +No doubt there was a princess, and that Princess might have been +PRINCESS BELLE-ETOILE? Anyway here she is in the same boat--I mean +book--and certainly her adventures are romantic enough to prevent any +surprise at the company in which Her Highness now finds herself. + +Even princesses cannot do without Alphabets, and so in her train comes +AN ALPHABET in which will be discovered many OLD and tried FRIENDS of +the Nursery. + +Thus we launch another volume of our series, like a fairy ship with a +rather mixed cargo, in the hope that--to change the metaphor--like the +blackbird-pie, it may prove, when opened, to be "a pretty dish to set +before--" their Babyships. + +Walter Crane + +[Illustration] + +Kensington. Sept: 1909 + +[Illustration] [Illustration] + + + + +SING A SONG OF SIXPENCE + +[Illustrations, with each couplet] + + Sing a song of sixpence, + A pocket full of rye, + + Four and twenty black-birds, + Baked in a pie + + When the pie was open'd + The birds began to sing + + Was'nt that a dainty dish + To set before the King? + + The King was in his counting-house, + Counting out his money. + + The Queen was in the parlour, + Eating bread and honey. + + The maid was in the garden, + Hanging out the clothes; + + There came a little blackbird, + And nipp'd off her nose. + + +[Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration] + + + + +PRINCESS BELLE-ETOILE. + + +Once upon a time there were three Princesses, named Roussette, Brunette, +and Blondine, who lived in retirement with their mother, a Princess who +had lost all her former grandeur. One day an old woman called and asked +for a dinner, as this Princess was an excellent cook. After the meal was +over, the old woman, who was a fairy, promised that their kindness +should be rewarded, and immediately disappeared. + +Shortly after, the King came that way, with his brother and the Lord +Admiral. They were all so struck with the beauty of the three +Princesses, that the King married the youngest, Blondine, his brother +married Brunette, and the Lord Admiral married Roussette. + +The good Fairy, who had brought all this about, also caused the young +Queen Blondine to have three lovely children, two boys and a girl, out +of whose hair fell fine jewels. Each had a brilliant star on the +forehead, and a rich chain of gold around the neck. At the same time +Brunette, her sister, gave birth to a handsome boy. Now the young Queen +and Brunette were much attached to each other, but Roussette was jealous +of both, and the old Queen, the King's mother, hated them. Brunette died +soon after the birth of her son, and the King was absent on a warlike +expedition, so Roussette joined the wicked old Queen in forming plans to +injure Blondine. They ordered Feintise, the old Queen's waiting-woman, +to strangle the Queen's three children and the son of Princess Brunette, +and bury them secretly. But as she was about to execute this wicked +order, she was so struck by their beauty, and the appearance of the +sparkling stars on their foreheads, that she shrank from the deed. + +[Illustration] + +So she had a boat brought round to the beach, and put the four babes, +with some strings of jewels, into a cradle, which she placed in the +boat, and then set it adrift. The boat was soon far out at sea. The +waves rose, the rain poured in torrents, and the thunder roared. +Feintise could not doubt that the boat would be swamped, and felt +relieved by the thought that the poor little innocents would perish, for +she would otherwise always be haunted by the fear that something would +occur to betray the share she had had in their preservation. + +But the good Fairy protected them, and after floating at sea for seven +days they were picked up by a Corsair. He was so struck by their beauty +that he altered his course, and took them home to his wife, who had no +children. She was transported with joy when he placed them in her hands. +They admired together the wonderful stars, the chains of gold that could +not be taken off their necks, and their long ringlets. Much greater was +the woman's astonishment when she combed them, for at every instant +there rolled out of their hair pearls, rubies, diamonds, and emeralds. +She told her husband of it, who was not less surprised than herself. + +"I am very tired," said he, "of a Corsair's life, and if the locks of +those little children continue to supply us with such treasures, I will +give up roaming the seas." The Corsair's wife, whose name was Corsine, +was enchanted at this, and loved the four infants so much the more for +it. She named the Princess, Belle-Etoile, her eldest brother, +Petit-Soleil, the second, Heureux, and the son of Brunette, Cheri. + +As they grew older, the Corsair applied himself seriously to their +education, as he felt convinced there was some great mystery attached to +their birth. + +The Corsair and his wife had never told the story of the four children, +who passed for their own. They were exceedingly united, but Prince Cheri +entertained for Princess Belle-Etoile a greater affection than the other +two. The moment she expressed a wish for anything, he would attempt even +impossibilities to gratify her. + +One day Belle-Etoile overheard the Corsair and his wife talking. "When I +fell in with them," said the Corsair, "I saw nothing that could give me +any idea of their birth." "I suspect," said Corsine, "that Cheri is not +their brother, he has neither star nor neck-chain." Belle-Etoile +immediately ran and told this to the three Princes, who resolved to +speak to the Corsair and his wife, and ask them to let them set out to +discover the secret of their birth. After some remonstrance they gained +their consent. A beautiful vessel was prepared, and the young Princess +and the three Princes set out. They determined to sail to the very spot +where the Corsair had found them, and made preparations for a grand +sacrifice to the fairies, for their protection and guidance. They were +about to immolate a turtle-dove, but the Princess saved its life, and +let it fly. At this moment a syren issued from the water, and said, +"Cease your anxiety, let your vessel go where it will; land where it +stops." The vessel now sailed more quickly. Suddenly they came in sight +of a city so beautiful that they were anxious their vessel should enter +the port. Their wishes were accomplished; they landed, and the shore in +a moment was crowded with people, who had observed the magnificence of +their ship. They ran and told the King the news, and as the grand +terrace of the Palace looked out upon the sea-shore, he speedily +repaired thither. The Princes, hearing the people say, "There is the +King," looked up, and made a profound obeisance. He looked earnestly at +them, and was as much charmed by the Princess's beauty, as by the +handsome mien of the young Princes. He ordered his equerry to offer them +his protection, and everything that they might require. + +The King was so interested about these four children, that he went into +the chamber of the Queen, his mother, to tell her of the wonderful stars +which shone upon their foreheads, and everything that he admired in +them. She was thunderstruck at it, and was terribly afraid that Feintise +had betrayed her, and sent her secretary to enquire about them. What he +told her of their ages confirmed her suspicions. She sent for Feintise, +and threatened to kill her. Feintise, half dead with terror, confessed +all; but promised, if she spared her, that she would still find means to +do away with them. The Queen was appeased; and, indeed, old Feintise did +all she could for her own sake. Taking a guitar, she went and sat down +opposite the Princess's window, and sang a song which Belle-Etoile +thought so pretty that she invited her into her chamber. "My fair +child," said Feintise, "Heaven has made you very lovely, but you yet +want one thing--the dancing-water. If I had possessed it, you would not +have seen a white hair upon my head, nor a wrinkle on my face. Alas! I +knew this secret too late; my charms had already faded." "But where +shall I find this dancing-water?" asked Belle-Etoile. "It is in the +luminous forest," said Feintise. "You have three brothers; does not any +one of them love you sufficiently to go and fetch some?" "My brothers +all love me," said the Princess, "but there is one of them who would not +refuse me anything." The perfidious old woman retired, delighted at +having been so successful. The Princes, returning from the chase, found +Belle-Etoile engrossed by the advice of Feintise. Her anxiety about it +was so apparent, that Cheri, who thought of nothing but pleasing her, +soon found out the cause of it, and, in spite of her entreaties, he +mounted his white horse, and set out in search of the dancing-water. +When supper-time arrived, and the Princess did not see her brother +Cheri, she could neither eat nor drink; and desired he might be sought +for everywhere, and sent messengers to find him and bring him back. + +[Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration] + +The wicked Feintise was very anxious to know the result of her advice; +and when she heard that Cheri had already set out, she was delighted, +and reported to the Queen-Mother all that had passed. "I admit, Madam," +said she, "that I can no longer doubt that they are the same four +children: but one of the Princes is already gone to seek the +dancing-water, and will no doubt perish in the attempt, and I shall find +similar means to do away with all of them." + +The plan she had adopted with regard to Prince Cheri was one of the most +certain, for the dancing-water was not easily to be obtained; it was so +notorious from the misfortunes which occurred to all who sought it, that +every one knew the road to it. He was eight days without taking any +repose but in the woods. At the end of this period he began to suffer +very much from the heat; but it was not the heat of the sun, and he did +not know the cause of it, until from the top of a mountain he perceived +the luminous forest; all the trees were burning without being consumed, +and casting out flames to such a distance that the country around was a +dry desert. + +At this terrible scene he descended, and more than once gave himself up +for lost. As he approached this great fire he was ready to die with +thirst; and perceiving a spring falling into a marble basin, he alighted +from his horse, approached it, and stooped to take up some water in the +little golden vase which he had brought with him, when he saw a +turtle-dove drowning in the fountain. Cheri took pity on it, and saved +it. "My Lord Cheri," she said, "I am not ungrateful; I can guide you to +the dancing-water, which, without me, you could never obtain, as it +rises in the middle of the forest, and can only be reached by going +underground." The Dove then flew away, and summoned a number of foxes, +badgers, moles, snails, ants, and all sorts of creatures that burrow in +the earth. Cheri got off his horse at the entrance of the subterranean +passage they made for him, and groped his way after the kind Dove, which +safely conducted him to the fountain. The Prince filled his golden vase; +and returned the same way he came. + +He found Belle-Etoile sorrowfully seated under some trees, but when she +saw him she was so pleased that she scarcely knew how to welcome him. + +Old Feintise learned from her spies that Cheri had returned, and that +the Princess, having washed her face with the dancing-water, had become +more lovely than ever. Finding this, she lost no time in artfully making +the Princess sigh for the wonderful singing-apple. Prince Cheri again +found her unhappy, and again found out the cause, and once more set out +on his white horse, leaving a letter for Belle-Etoile. + +In the meanwhile, the King did not forget the lovely children, and +reproached them for never going to the Palace. They excused themselves +by saying that their brother's absence prevented them. + +Prince Cheri at break of day perceived a handsome young man, from whom +he learned where the singing-apple was to be found: but after travelling +some time without seeing any sign of it, he saw a poor turtle-dove fall +at his feet almost dead. He took pity on it, and restored it, when it +said, "Good-day, handsome Cheri, you are destined to save my life, and I +to do you signal service. You are come to seek for the singing-apple: it +is guarded by a terrible dragon." The Dove then led him to a place where +he found a suit of armour, all of glass: and by her advice he put it on, +and boldly went to meet the dragon. The two-headed monster came bounding +along, fire issuing from his throat; but when he saw his alarming figure +multiplied in the Prince's mirrors he was frightened in his turn. He +stopped, and looking fiercely at the Prince, apparently laden with +dragons, he took flight and threw himself into a deep chasm. The Prince +then found the tree, which was surrounded with human bones, and breaking +off an apple, prepared to return to the Princess. She had never slept +during his absence, and ran to meet him eagerly. + +When the wicked Feintise heard the sweet singing of the apple, her grief +was excessive, for instead of doing harm to these lovely children, she +only did them good by her perfidious counsels. She allowed some days to +pass by without showing herself; and then once more made the Princess +unhappy by saying that the dancing-water and the singing-apple were +useless without the little green bird that tells everything. + +Cheri again set out, and after some trouble learnt that this bird was to +be found on the top of a frightful rock, in a frozen climate. At length, +at dawn of day, he perceived the rock, which was very high and very +steep, and upon the summit of it was the bird, speaking like an oracle, +telling wonderful things. He thought that with a little dexterity it +would be easy to catch it, for it seemed very tame. He got off his +horse, and climbed up very quietly. He was so close to the green bird +that he thought he could lay hands on it, when suddenly the rock opened +and he fell into a spacious hall, and became as motionless as a statue; +he could neither stir, nor utter a complaint at his deplorable +situation. Three hundred knights, who had made the same attempt, were in +the same state. To look at each other was the only thing permitted them. + +[Illustration] + +The time seemed so long to Belle-Etoile, and still no signs of her +beloved Cheri, that she fell dangerously ill; and in the hopes of +curing her, Petit-Soleil resolved to seek him. + +But he too was swallowed up by the rock and fell into the great hall. +The first person he saw was Cheri, but he could not speak to him; and +Prince Heureux, following soon after, met with the same fate as the +other two. + +When Feintise was aware that the third Prince was gone, she was +exceedingly delighted at the success of her plan; and when Belle-Etoile, +inconsolable at finding not one of her brothers return, reproached +herself for their loss, and resolved to follow them, she was quite +overjoyed. + +The Princess was disguised as a cavalier, but had no other armour than +her helmet. She was dreadfully cold as she drew near the rock, but +seeing a turtle-dove lying on the snow, she took it up, warmed it, and +restored it to life: and the dove reviving, gaily said, "I know you, in +spite of your disguise; follow my advice: when you arrive at the rock, +remain at the bottom and begin to sing the sweetest song you know; the +green bird will listen to you; you must then pretend to go to sleep; +when it sees me, it will come down to peck me, and at that moment you +will be able to seize it." + +All this fell out as the Dove foretold. The green bird begged for +liberty. "First," said Belle-Etoile, "I wish that thou wouldst restore +my three brothers to me." + +"Under my left wing there is a red feather," said the bird: "pull it +out, and touch the rock with it." + +The Princess hastened to do as she was instructed; the rock split from +the top to the bottom: she entered with a victorious air the hall in +which stood the three Princes with many others; she ran towards Cheri, +who did not know her in her helmet and male attire, and could neither +speak nor move. The green bird then told the Princess she must rub the +eyes and mouth of all those she wished to disenchant with the red +feather, which good office she did to all. + +The three Princes and Belle-Etoile hastened to present themselves to the +King; and when Belle-Etoile showed her treasures, the little green bird +told him that the Princes Petit-Soleil and Heureux and the Princess +Belle-Etoile were his children, and that Prince Cheri was his nephew. +Queen Blondine, who had mourned for them all these years, embraced them, +and the wicked Queen-Mother and old Feintise were justly punished. And +the King, who thought his nephew Cheri the handsomest man at Court, +consented to his marriage with Belle-Etoile. And lastly, to make +everyone happy, the King sent for the Corsair and his wife, who gladly +came. + +[Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration] + + + + +AN ALPHABET OF OLD FRIENDS. + + +A + + A carrion crow sat on an oak, + Watching a tailor shape his cloak. + "Wife, bring me my old bent bow, + That I may shoot yon carrion crow." + The tailor he shot and missed his mark, + And shot his own sow quite through the heart. + "Wife, wife, bring brandy in a spoon, + For our old sow is in a swoon." + +B + + Ba, ba, black sheep, + Have you any wool?

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
