+ELLEN OF VILLENSKOV.
+
+
+There lies a wold in Vester Haf,
+   There builds a boor his hold;
+And thither he carries hawk and hound,
+   He’ll stay through winter’s cold.
+
+He takes with him both hound and cock,
+   He means there long to stay;
+The wild deer in the wood that are
+   For his arrival pay.
+
+He hews the oak and poplar tall,
+   He fells the good beech tree;
+Then fill’d was the laidly Trold with spite
+   That he should make so free.
+
+He hews him posts, he hews him balks,
+   He early toils and late;
+Out spake the Trolds within the hill:
+   “Who knocks at such a rate?”
+
+Then up and spake the youngest Trold,
+   As emmet small to view:
+“O here is come a Christian man,
+   But verily he shall rue.”
+
+Upstood the smallest of the Trolds,
+   And round he roll’d his eyes:
+“O we will hie to the yeoman’s house,
+   And o’er him hold assize.
+
+“He hews away our sheltering wood,
+   Meanwhile shall we be tame?
+No! I from him his wife will take,
+   And make him suffer shame.”
+
+All the Trolds in the hill that were
+   Wild for the fray upbound;
+They hie away to the yeoman’s house,
+   Their tails all curling round.
+
+Seven and a hundred were the Trolds,
+   Their laidliness was great;
+To the yeoman’s house they’ll go as guests,
+   With him to drink and eat.
+
+The hound is yelling in the yard,
+   The herdsman blows his horn;
+Crows the cock and clucks the hen
+   As the yeoman throws them corn.
+
+Of Villenskov the yeoman saw
+   The Trolds the window through:
+“Now help me Jesu, Mary’s son,
+   Those trolds have me in view.”
+
+He sign’d the cross in every nook,
+   But mostly in his room;
+Some of the Trolds in fright thereat
+   Flew to the forest’s gloom.
+
+Some flew east, and some flew west,
+   And some flew north away;
+And others flew to the valleys deep,
+   Where still, I trow, they stay.
+
+But ah! the smallest of the Trolds
+   Bold enter’d at the door;
+For crossing he refus’d to flee,
+   Was bent on mischief sore.
+
+The housewife thought of a good device,
+   She plac’d him at the board,
+And before him set both ale and meat,
+   With many a courteous word.
+
+“Hear, husbandman of Villenskov,
+   Attend to what I say;
+Who has to thee permission given
+   To build where I have sway?
+
+“Since thou to build within my bounds
+   Hast ta’en the liberty,
+Thou shalt to me thy housewife give,
+   For I with her will lie.”
+
+Then answer made the hapless man,
+   As God gave him the thought:
+“Thou shalt not Ellen get from me,
+   Like her I value nought.”
+
+He answer made unto the Trold:
+   “Let but my wife alone,
+And do thou take my money and goods,
+   And keep them for thy own.”
+
+“Then I will Ellen take, and thee,
+   And tread ye both to gore;
+And I will take thy silver and gold
+   And hide it ’neath my floor.”
+
+The yeoman and his household all
+   Were seized with mighty fright:
+“Better that one of us be lost
+   Than all destroy’d outright.”
+
+Then up and stood the desp’rate man,
+   With sore affliction rife;
+And he has given his Ellen dear
+   To the young Trold for wife.
+
+Then wax’d he glad, and sprang about,
+   So fondly her he pressed;
+O then how pale her cheeks became,
+   She was so sore distrest!
+
+Then out and spake the afflicted Dame
+   Whilst shedding many a tear:
+“O God in mercy look on me,
+   My fate is hard to bear.
+
+“I did possess as fair a man
+   As ever walk’d-on mead,
+But now perforce with laidly Trold
+   Must do adulterous deed.”
+
+He kiss’d her once, he kiss’d her twice,
+   Her heart yet sadder grew;
+The laidliest Devil he became
+   That man did ever view.
+
+When the third time he her would kiss
+   She call’d on Mary’s son;
+Then he became a lovely knight,
+   His elfin shape was gone.
+
+It happen’d neath a linden green
+   He was from woe releas’d;
+Then straightway fled all fear and dread,
+   So well they all were pleas’d.
+
+“Hear, thou beloved Ellenlile,
+   Consent my wife to be,
+And all the gold in England’s isle
+   I will bestow on thee.
+
+“When I was little, Death from me
+   My mother took away;
+My step-dame drove me forth, and I
+   Became a Trold so gray.
+
+“I’ll give thy husband gifts of price
+   And titles fair beside;
+In verity, thou yeoman’s dame,
+   Thou wilt become my bride.”
+
+“Thou noble knight, we’ll thank the Lord
+   From woe who set us free,
+If thou wilt wed some fair young maid
+   You both may live in glee.”
+
+“If thee I can’t in marriage get
+   I’ll have thy daughter bright,
+And all thy benefits to me
+   By crowning her requite.
+
+“Thanks, Ellen, thanks, thou woman wise,
+   To praise thee I’ll not cease;
+If I may not thy love obtain
+   I’ll leave thee here in peace.”
+
+Now builds the yeoman on his isle,
+   And no one him offends;
+His daughter bears old England’s crown,
+   And happy days she spends.
+
+Now Ellen has, the yeoman’s wife,
+   Escap’d from care and harm;
+She’s mother to a Queen, who sleeps
+   Within a Monarch’s arm.
+
+Who bore him first a daughter fine,
+   And then a blooming heir;
+They thank’d the Lord on every side
+   For all their fortune fair.
+
+The daughter now of Ellenlile
+   Of England has the sway;
+And Ellen with her yeoman lives,
+   Each other’s equals they.

+
+Thou who the strand dost wander,
+   Thy steps, O traveller, stay!
+Turn to the island yonder,
+   And listen to my lay.
+Thy every meditation
+   Bid hither, hither stray:
+On yonder banks its station
+   Had once a Castelaye.
+
+In long past days in glory
+   It stood, and grandeur sheen
+Now ’twas so transitory
+   Its ruins scarce are seen.
+But in old days I warrant
+   Its equal was not found;
+From every side apparent
+   High tower’d it from the ground.
+
+For no sea-king intended
+   I ween was yonder hold;
+Urania, it ascended
+   In praise of thee so bold.
+Close by the ocean roaring,
+   Far, far from mortal jars,
+It stood tow’rds heaven soaring,
+   And tow’rds the little stars.
+
+A gate in the wall eastward,
+   Display’d its mighty mouth;
+There was another westward,
+   And spires stood north and south.
+The dome itself, high rearing,
+   A slender spirelet bore,
+Upon it, ever veering,
+   A Pegasus gilt o’er.
+
+Towers which the sight astounded
+   In north and south were plac’d;
+Upon strong pillars founded,
+   And with fair galleries grac’d.
+And there caught the attention
+   Of those that thither stroll’d,
+Quadrants of hugh dimension,
+   And speres in frames that roll’d.
+
+From yonder Castle, gazing
+   Across the isle, you spied
+The woods, their heads up-raising,
+   And ocean’s bluey tide.
+The halls the sight enchanted
+   With colours bright of blee;
+The gardens they were planted
+   With many a flower and tree.
+
+When down came night careering
+   And vanish’d was the sun,
+The stars were seen appearing
+   All heaven’s arch upon.
+Then far was heard the yelling,
+   When you thereto gave heed,
+Of those that watch’d the dwelling,
+   Four hounds of mastiff breed.
+
+The good knight ceas’d to walk on
+   The fields of war and gore,
+His helm and sword the balk on
+   He hung, to use no more.
+From earth, its woe and riot,
+   His soul had taken flight,
+When in his chamber quiet
+   He sat at dead of night.
+
+Then he his eye erected
+   Into the night so far,
+And keen the course inspected
+   Of every twinkling star.
+The stars his fame transported
+   Wide over sea and land,
+And kings his friendship courted,
+   And sought his islet’s strand.
+
+But point the stars from heaven
+   To lands far o’er the main;
+He went, by fortune driven,
+   And ne’er returned again.
+The haughty walls through sorrow
+   Have long since sunken low,
+And heavy plow-shares furrow
+   Thy house, Urania, now.
+
+Each time the sun is sinking
+   It friendly looks on Hveen;
+Its rays there linger, thinking
+   On what the place has been.
+The moon hastes melancholy
+   Past, past the coast so dear,
+And in love’s transport holy
+   Shines Freya’s starlet clear.
+
+Then suddenly takes to heaving
+   Of that same ruin’d hold
+The basis deep, believing
+   It is some eve of old.
+For many moments gladly
+   ’Twould rise up from the mould;
+But ah! it can’t, and sadly
+   Sinks in death’s slumber cold.
+
+
+
+
+THE READY ANSWER.
+
+
+The brother to his dear sister spake;
+“Wilt thou not quickly a husband take?”
+
+“Dear brother, I’ll do no such thing,
+I’m far too young for marrying.”
+
+“Then why so oft do I hear it said
+That thou preparest thee to wed?”
+
+“Ah! folks such store of scandal say,
+That only fools attention pay.”
+
+“Who was that gallant knight, that rode
+This morning early from thy abode?”
+
+“A very gallant knight, indeed,
+It was my page upon his steed.”
+
+“What might that pair of shoes betide,
+That lately stood by thy bedside?”
+
+“If pair of shoes stood ever there,
+That pair of shoes my slippers were.”
+
+“Those children small, how came they, say,
+The other day in thy bed that lay?”
+
+“No children small I ween were they,
+But pups with which I’m wont to play.”
+
+“How happ’d this morn that baby scream.
+Which from thy chamber broke my dream?”
+
+“O babes in that guise seldom squall,
+My maid cried for her keys so small.”
+
+“What might that splendid cradle mean,
+Which hidden here I oft have seen?”
+
+“It was no cradle met thine eyes,
+But my silk woof about that lies.
+
+“Brother if thou hast questions more,
+I’ve other answers still in store.”
+
+When women for answers are at stop,
+There’ll be in the main no water drop.
+
+
+
+
+EPIGRAMS
+
+
+1.
+
+
+There’s no living, my boy, without plenty of gold,
+But gold to obtain you must ever be bold.
+The Diver will never who feareth the shark
+Bring up precious pearls from the sea caverns dark.
+
+
+
+2.
+
+
+O think not you’ll change what on high is designed,
+   Though you lift up your hands and to heaven you shout;
+The Angel will grieve not, who governs the wind,
+   Though a gust should the lamp of the widow blow out.
+
+
+
+3.
+
+
+Load not thyself with gold, O mortal man, for know
+   No strength thou’lt have for loads when summon’d hence away.
+Avoid excess of meat, it maketh gross, I trow,
+   And gross thou must not be when summon’d hence away;
+For through the narrow gate thou’lt find it hard to go
+   Of death, if thou art gross when summon’d hence away.

+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 are 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.
