Fytte VII Cito Pede Preterit Aetas [A Philosophical Dissertation] "Gillian's dead, God rest her bier-- How I loved her many years syne; Marion's married, but I sit here, Alive and merry at three-score year, Dipping my nose in Gascoigne wine."--Wamba's Song--Thackeray.

Now as Martin sang and the milkmaids danced, it seemed that Gillian in her prison heard and saw nothing except the music and the movement of her sorrows.

Then Gillian's tender mouth parted like an opening quince-blossom, and-- "Oh, Mother, Mother!" she said, "if you had only lived they would not have stolen the flower from my hair while I sat weeping." Above her head a whispering voice made answer, "Oh, Daughter, Daughter, dry your sweet eyes.

You shall fetch me the ring from the finger of your little mistress, who sits hidden beneath the fountain of her own bright tresses." The milkmaids at these words nodded gayly, and little Joan tip-toed to the Well-House, and slipped the ring from Gillian's finger as lightly as a daisy may be slipped from its fellow on the chain.

Between the cracks of the flags sprang grass, and pink-starred centaury, and even a trail of mallow sprawled over the steps where Gillian lay in tears, as though to wreathe her head with its striped blooms.
