+
+PREFACE.
+
+The following Tale is principally taken from the admirable Work of
+Madame de Beaumont (_Le Magazin des Enfans_), which formed almost the
+whole library and the delight of the children of the last generation,
+and has hardly been surpassed by the many excellent productions which
+supply the nurseries and school-rooms of the present.
+
+The story is there told with the simplicity and sprightliness of which
+the French language is so peculiarly capable, but which a literal
+translation would render not only insipid but vulgar.
+
+In a poetical dress it may possibly give to the young reader a part of
+that amusement, which it once afforded the infancy of the author.
+
+
+
+
+THE THREE WISHES.
+
+
+  The sun withdrew his last pale ray,
+  And clos'd the short and chearless day;
+  Loud blew the wind, and rain and sleet
+  Against the cottage casement beat.
+
+  The busy housewife trimm'd her fire,
+  And drew the oaken settle nigher,
+  And welcom'd home her own good man
+  To his clean hearth, his pipe, and can;
+  For Homespun and his bustling wife
+  Were honest folks in humble life,
+  Who liv'd contented with their lot,
+  And lov'd the comforts of their cot.
+  With willing hand and chearful heart,
+  Each of life's burden bore their part,
+  With patience all its ills withstood,
+  And thankfully receiv'd the good.
+
+  Yet, they were not without their failings:
+  They lov'd the harvest-home regalings;
+  On summer evenings on the green
+  At cricket oft was Homespun seen;
+  And sometimes, where the sign ensnares
+  The wearied swain to drown his cares,
+  He lov'd to quaff the foaming ale,
+  And listen to a merry tale.
+  Was there within ten miles a fair--
+  He and his dame were surely there:
+  For she too lov'd, in trim array,
+  And scarlet cloak, a holiday.
+  Ah! then within her pocket burn'd
+  The long sav'd crown so hardly earn'd,
+  While in the stall temptation spread
+  The printed gown or top-knot red;
+  Nor did her little happy train
+  For drum or whistle sue in vain.
+
+  Will Rigour's brow relentless lour,
+  If pleasure steal from toil _one_ hour?
+  And shall the poor enjoy no ray
+  Of sunshine through their winter's day?
+  Nor pluck the few wild flowers, that bloom
+  'Midst poverty's ungenial gloom?
+
+  Now, seated in his wicker chair,
+  The swain enjoys his homely fare:
+  His rosy children round him press,
+  Eager to share the fond caress;
+  And as his eyes delighted trace
+  Health and content in each dear face,
+  He scarce desires a happier lot,
+  His toils unfelt, his cares forgot.
+
+  When supper ended,--grace was said,
+  The babes were bless'd, and sent to bed,
+  And o'er the fire the parents sat,
+  Engag'd in sober, social chat,--
+  When suddenly a flash of light
+  Reveal'd to their astonish'd sight
+  A little form of lovely mien,
+  Epitome of Beauty's Queen.
+  Her zone was clasp'd with jewels rare,
+  And roses bound her auburn hair,
+  White was her robe, and in her hand
+  Graceful she wav'd an ivory wand.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+  Our couple started with surprise,
+  And star'd at her--with all their eyes,
+  Not guessing how or whence she came,
+  What was her nature, or her name.
+  At length their unexpected guest
+  The trembling villagers address'd:
+
+  Mortals! she said, in me behold
+  A being of no earthly mold:--
+  But fear me not; I visit earth
+  To benefit your humble worth;
+  For this I've left the blissful land,
+  Rul'd by Imperial Oberon's hand,
+  And on your cottage I intrude
+  To pay a debt of gratitude.
+  For know, my friends, that every year
+  I'm doom'd a mortal form to wear,
+  And for a time must undergo
+  The sufferings earthly creatures know.
+  Sometimes I wing my way a bird;
+  Sometimes with beasts compelled to herd;
+  A fish I plunge beneath the deep;
+  Or in an insect's form I creep.
+  Of late it was my fate to wear
+  The semblance of the timid hare;
+  And one cold morning in December
+  (The luckless day you may remember),
+  When winter stern in icy chains
+  Had bound the desolated plains,
+  And withered every tender plant,
+  A hare, compelled by urgent want,
+  Ventured within your garden pale
+  To taste your parsley and your kale.
+  Soon of her steps you saw the trace,
+  And whistled Fury to the chace.
+  The fatal scent her track reveals,
+  And the fierce cur pursued her heels;
+  Vain was her speed! her failing breath
+  Left her within the jaws of death,
+  When doubling quick, thus sorely prest,
+  She sprang for shelter to your breast.
+  That breast, awake to pity's plea,
+  My kind protector! rescued me:
+  Your generous cares assuag'd my pangs,
+  And sav'd me from the terrier's fangs.
+  'Twas then I vow'd, the very hour
+  That gave me back my form and power,
+  To seek your humble roof with speed,
+  And recompense the gentle deed.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+  Now, by the honour of a Spright
+  Who in good actions takes delight,
+  By Mab, the sovereign of fays,
+  Who sports beneath the moon's pale rays,
+  I grant to you and your good dame
+  The first Three Wishes that you name!
+  Think what will best your state amend,
+  And claim it from your grateful friend!
+  Together you had best advise,
+  And as you are _humane_, be _wise_!
+  For should you foolishly decide,
+  By your own choice you must abide;
+  Nor further does my power extend,
+  Howe'er dispos'd to be your friend.
+
+  So saying, the benignant fay
+  Quick thro' the key-hole whisk'd away.
+
+  Our cottagers from fear relieved,
+  Scarcely their eyes and ears believ'd:
+  But ah! what passions, long suppress'd,
+  Were rous'd in each unguarded breast;
+  Ambition, that had dormant lain,
+  And Pride, with Luxury in his train;
+  While Vanity performed her part
+  In simple Susan's easy heart!
+
+  Suppose the joy that now abounded,
+  The exclamations that resounded:
+  How strange! what luck! what can have brought it?
+  Good lack! Dear me! Who would have thought it?
+  What shall we wish for? let us ponder.
+  Lord, how the neighbours will all wonder!
+
+  Quoth Homespun--if 'tis not a dream,
+  I'll have a farm, and keep a team.
+
+  A farm! said Susan: on my life,
+  I'll be no farmer's dowdy wife,
+  To toil and drudge thro' mud and mire:
+  I hope you'll hold your head much higher.
+
+  Well, well, then--shall I be a Squire?--
+  Methinks I should be somewhat proud,
+  To own the land which once I plough'd.
+  With money plenty in my bags,
+  I'd keep my gig and brace of nags;
+  My cellars should be duly stor'd,
+  And beef should smoke upon my board:
+  Besides I'd keep my pack of hounds--
+  Squire Homespun! Lord how fine it sounds!
+
+  Have it, said Susan, as you will;
+  But sure My Lord! sounds finer still;
+  Then I should be My Lady: Bless me,
+  How smart! how beautiful I'd dress me!
+  Such bonnets, mantles, ruffs, and puffs,
+  Such gowns, and furbelows, and muffs,
+  With chains and ear-rings, watch and broche,
+  And Madam Homespun in her coach:
+  So grand! so stately! who but me?
+  How mad my neighbour Barnes will be!
+
+  Peace, said the husband, pr'ythee, peace!
+  'Tis time this idle talk should cease:
+  Consider what we have at stake!
+  I fain some friend's advice would take:
+  At least we must be wise and wary,
+  As we were counsell'd by the fairy.
+  So hasten, dame, and fill the beaker,
+  And we'll discuss it o'er our liquor.
+
+  'Tis vain to trace each various plan
+  Which Susan form'd with her good man.
+  Or yet how oft they drain'd the cup,
+  Ere the long conference broke up:
+  But as opinions were divided,
+  The business still was undecided.
+  In this dilemma the result
+  Was--that their pillows they'd consult.
+  'Tis best to take more time to con it,
+  Quoth Homespun--so we'll sleep upon it:
+  Our choice requires the coolest head;
+  So rake the fire, and we'll to bed.
+
+  Susan, the happiest wife on earth,
+  Set all to rights, and brush'd her hearth;
+  And said, These embers burn so clear,
+  I WISH WE HAD A PUDDING HERE!
+  Methinks 'twould broil so clean and nice;
+  I'd make it ready in a trice;
+  She spoke--and in the chimney rumbled
+  A noise--and down a pudding tumbled!
+
+  The affrighted Susan stood amaz'd,
+  With tearful eyes, and hands uprais'd,
+  O'erwhelm'd with grief and self-reproach,
+  Farewell! to Madam in her coach!
+  Her tongue itself forgot its use,--
+  Tongue once so ready at excuse!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+  Mean time the husband storm'd and rated,
+  Swearing no man was e'er so mated;
+  And call'd his spouse--like savage shameless,
+  By ugly words that must be nameless.
+  To throw our fortune thus away!
+  Aren't you a stupid idiot--hey?
+  Such want of thought your folly shows,
+  I WISH THE PUDDING ON YOUR NOSE!
+
+  The words escap'd, he gain'd his wish.
+  The pudding, rising from its dish,
+  On Goody Homespun's nose was stuck
+  So fast, no power on earth could pluck
+  The sad incumbrance away.
+  What could be done? Oh, hapless day!
+  She cried, she stamp'd, she tore her hair;
+  The fatal pudding still hung there.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+  Oh! I shall die, said she, with shame!
+  Now, Master--who is most to blame?
+  My face again I ne'er can show,
+  I shall be hooted as I go--
+  What will the neighbours say--Oh! oh!
+
+  The sorrowing husband now repented;
+  And Susan in her turn resented:
+  While he, with looks most melancholy,
+  Confessed he'd equall'd her in folly;
+  Yet strove his weeping spouse to cheer:
+
+  Don't be cast down, said he, my dear!
+  Consider! we have one stake more.
+  We'll wish of wealth an endless store,
+  And you shall have such gay rich clothes,
+  That folks won't think about your nose:
+  Nay, it will ornament your face,
+  When cover'd with a golden case:
+  Therefore, my dearest, calm your passion!
+  We'll say nose-jewels are the fashion.
+
+  Sad Susan wav'd her head in woe,
+  The pudding too wav'd to and fro,
+  While she exclaim'd, I tell you, No,
+  You barbarous man! you talk in vain:
+  I'll never shew my face again:
+  I'll have no case of gold, not I;
+  But lay me down at once, and die!
+
+  Nay, said her mate--it shan't be so--
+  I'd sooner our last hope forego.
+  Our third wish will your peace restore,
+  We are but where we were before.
+  I will my luckless wish revoke,
+  Recall the words I rashly spoke,
+  And to relieve you from this evil,
+  I WISH THE PUDDING AT THE DEVIL!
+
+  Obedient to this prudent wish,
+  The pudding fell, and in its dish
+  Flew up the chimney as it came,
+  And thus restor'd the suffering dame;
+  Who, freed from anguish, now could show
+  Her own dear nose--_in statu quo_:
+  Yet scarce recovered, laugh'd and cried,
+  'Twixt joy--and disappointed pride.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+  Quoth Homespun--To my mind, my dame,
+  A tricking fairy is that same!
+  Why did she meddle thus about us?
+  To tempt us first, and then to flout us?--
+  But let us not complain, my Sue;
+  The fairy to her word was true,
+  And if our schemes are overthrown,
+  In faith, the fault is all our own.
+  A wholesome lesson she has taught,
+  Though it is somewhat dearly bought,
+  And should she call another day,
+  She'll find it is not thrown away--
+  For as we have regained our senses,
+  We'll lay aside our vain pretences,
+  Temper our hopes with moderation,
+  AND SUIT OUR WISHES TO OUR STATION.
+
+
+THE END.

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  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 https://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4.  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 https://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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  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.
