+13</span>THE TRANSFORMED DAMSEL</h2>
+<p>I take my axe upon my back,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; To fell the tree I mean;<br />
+Then came the man the wood who owned,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; And thrust his heft between.</p>
+<p>&ldquo;If thou hew down my father&rsquo;s grove,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; And me this damage do,<br />
+If I but see thee fell the tree<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; Thou dearly that shalt rue.&rdquo;</p>
+<p>&ldquo;O let me hew this single tree,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; Nor to resist me seek;<br />
+Unless I yonder bird obtain<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; With grief my heart will break.&rdquo;</p>
+<p><!-- page 14--><a name="page14"></a><span class="pagenum">p.

+&nbsp;&nbsp; To me incline thine ear!<br />
+Thou ne&rsquo;er wilt yonder bird obtain<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; Unless some bait thou bear.&rdquo;</p>
+<p>From off my breast the bait I cut,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; And hung it on the bough:<br />
+The breast it bled, the bait it reeked,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; Mine is the birdie now.</p>
+<p>Down flew the lovely little bird,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; Fluttering its wings o&rsquo;erjoyed;<br />
+It seemed to smile as if the guile<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; It knew that I employed.</p>
+<p>It clawed and picked so hastily,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; So well did smack the bait;<br />
+And still the more it seemed to please<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; The more the birdie ate.</p>
+<p>Down flew the lovely little bird,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; Alighting on the sand;<br />
+The loveliest damsel she became,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; And gave the youth her hand.</p>

+15</span>THE FORCED CONSENT</h2>
+<p>Within her own fair castelaye<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; There goes a damsel bright;<br />
+A whole year&rsquo;s tide for her has sighed<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; A young and handsome knight.</p>
+<p>&ldquo;Now do thou hear, thou beauteous maid,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; Could I thy troth obtain,<br />
+Then thou shouldst tread on silk outspread,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; And ne&rsquo;er on the earth again.</p>
+<p>And do thou hear, my lovely maid,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; My wedded lady be,<br />
+And the slightest care thou shalt not bear<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; If I can save it thee.&rdquo;</p>
+<p><!-- page 16--><a name="page16"></a><span class="pagenum">p.
+16</span>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve vowed an oath to Mary maid,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; And to keep it is my plan;<br />
+Ne&rsquo;er live will I beneath the sky<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; With any sinful man.</p>
+<p>&ldquo;Here with my seven brothers bold<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; To-morrow I will come;<br />
+Yourself array in costly way,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; For you must follow us home.&rdquo;</p>
+<p>It was the young and handsome knight,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; He out of the doorway springs;<br />
+And he in haste the Runes has traced,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; And them on her lap she flings.</p>
+<p>And so he cast the magic Rune<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; The maiden&rsquo;s dress below;<br />
+Then beat her heart, and blood did start<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; From her finger nails I trow.</p>
+<p>&ldquo;If thou with thy seven brothers bold<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; To-morrow here wilt come,<br />
+Myself I&rsquo;ll array in costly way<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; And follow ye to your home.&rdquo;</p>
+<p><!-- page 17--><a name="page17"></a><span class="pagenum">p.
+17</span>The very next morn, the very next morn,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; When rose the sun in gold,<br />
+Full three times ten bold knightly men<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; Were waiting on the wold.</p>
+<p>Full three times ten bold knightly men,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; On a bonny grey steed each one;<br />
+With silk so white was the courser dight<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; Which the maid should ride upon.</p>
+<p>But what think ye that maiden did<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; Ere mounting on her horse?<br />
+A draught she drank of poison rank,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; Thought death her wisest course.</p>
+<p>Through the shallow streams they dashed their steeds,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; Through the deep their steeds they swam;<br />
+And ever and anon the maid would groan,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;How dreadfully ill I am.&rdquo;</p>
+<p>And when they came to the house of the knight,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; Where the bridal kept should be;<br />
+Spread out on the earth was silk of worth,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; And gold so red of blee.</p>
+<p><!-- page 18--><a name="page18"></a><span class="pagenum">p.
+18</span>&ldquo;Now thou may&rsquo;st see, my lady love,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; That I my promise hold;<br />
+Now thou dost tread on silk outspread,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; And not on the earth so cold.&rdquo;</p>
+<p>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s spread enough of the silken stuff,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; And plenty of gold is strown;<br />
+But better I ween in heaven sheen<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; With our Father God to wone.&rdquo;</p>
+<p>Then they led her to the high, high hall,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; And in scarlet her array&rsquo;d;<br />
+But their joy was brief, soon came their grief,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; She died alack a maid!</p>
+<p>Thanks be to him the youthful knight,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; No truer e&rsquo;er was seen;<br />
+He built her a grave in the church, and gave<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; The churchmen farms fifteen.</p>
+<p>Then as he stood by the maiden&rsquo;s grave,<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; The gallant young noble cried:<br />
+&ldquo;O would to God beneath the sod<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp; I were lying by her side!&rdquo;</p>

+Says she &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll myself as a courtier
+disguise.&rdquo;</p>
+<p>Proud Ingeborg hastens her steed to bestride,<br />
+Says she &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll away with the King to
+reside.&rdquo;</p>
+<p>&ldquo;Thou gallant young King to my speech lend an ear,<br />
+Hast thou any need of my services here?&rdquo;</p>
+<p>&ldquo;O yes, my sweet lad, of a horseboy I&rsquo;ve need,<br

+<p>&ldquo;But thy steed in the stall with my own can be tied,<br

+And the steeds of the monarch she drove out to graze.</p>
+<p>She led for three years the King&rsquo;s steeds to the
+brook,<br />
+For else than a youth no one Ingeborg took.</p>
+<p>Proud Ingeborg knows how to make the dames gay,<br />
+She also can sing in such ravishing way.</p>
+<p>The hair on her head is like yellow spun gold,<br />
+To her beauty the heart of the prince was not cold.</p>
+<p>But at length up and down in the palace she strayed,<br />
+Her colour and hair began swiftly to fade.</p>
+<p>What eye has seen ever so wondrous a case?<br />
+The boy his own spurs to his heel cannot brace.</p>

+And Ingeborg fair to their care he commends.</p>
+<p>Proud Ingeborg took they and wrapped in their weed,<br />
+And to the stone chamber with her they proceed.</p>
+<p>Upon the blue cushions they Ingeborg laid,<br />
+Where light of two beautiful sons she is made.</p>
+<p>Then in came the prince, smiled the babies to view:<br />
+&ldquo;&rsquo;Tis not every horse-boy can bear such a
+two.&rdquo;</p>
+<p>He patted her soft on her cheek sleek and fair:<br />
+&ldquo;Forget my heart&rsquo;s dearest all sorrow and

+<p>He placed the gold crown on her temples I ween:<br />

+
+1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.

+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1

+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or

+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 http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.

+
+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 http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+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:

+
+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.
