The King and Queen awake, and tell +How all has happed, rejoicing much that all has ended well. +They hold the wedding that same day, with mirth and feasting good-- +The wedding of the Prince and Sleeping Beauty in the Wood. + + + * * * * * + + +Aa + +[Illustration] + +As I was going up Pippin Hill + Pippin hill was dirty. +There I met a pretty miss, + And she dropped me a curtsy. + +Bb + +[Illustration] + +Boys and girls come out to play. +The moon doth shine as bright as day: +Come with a whoop, come with a call, +Come with a good will, or not at all. + +Cc + +[Illustration] + +Cuckoo, cherry tree +Come down & tell me +How many years +I have to live! + +Dd + +[Illustration] + +Ding, dong, bell, +Pussy's in the well. +Who put her in?

Bluebeard came back that day; +At once he asked her for the key,--he saw the bloody stain.-- + +[Illustration] + +"_You have been in the closet once, and you shall go again!_" +"O spare me, spare me! give me time, nor kill me hastily!" +"You have a quarter of an hour,--then, madam, you must die!" +"O sister Anne, go up, go up, and look out from the tower;" +"I'm dead unless my brothers come in a quarter of an hour!" +And Anne looked once, and Anne looked twice, and nothing saw abroad, +But shining sun and growing grass, and dust upon the road. + +[Illustration] + +"Come down!" cried Bluebeard, "time is up!" With many a sigh and moan, +She prayed him for a minute more; he shouted still, "Come down!" +"O sister Anne, look out, look out! and do you nothing see?" +"At last I see our brothers two come riding hastily." +"Now spare me, Bluebeard,--spare thy wife!" but as the words were said, + +[Illustration] + +And just as Bluebeard's cruel blade was descending on her head, +In rushed the brothers with their swords,--they cut the murderer down, +And saved their sister's life, and gained much glory and renown; +And then they all with gold and plate and jewels rare made free, +And ever after lived content on Bluebeard's property. + +[Illustration] + + + + +***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE SLEEPING BEAUTY PICTURE BOOK*** + + +******* This file should be named 23521.txt or 23521.zip ******* + + +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: +https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/3/5/2/23521 + + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was 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: + + https://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. + |
