CHORUS OF CONTADINE List and learn, ye dainty roses, Roses white and roses red, Why we bind you into posies Ere your morning bloom has fled. By a law of maidens making, Accents of a heart thats aching, Even though that heart be breaking, Should by maiden be unsaid; Though they love with love exceeding, They must seem to be unheeding Go ye then and do their pleading, Roses white and roses red!

He was, the correspondent continued, a very singular man; some said he was partially insane, while others considered him an expert in the black art. Of one thing be particularly advised Master Walter, and that was not to make the nobleman. Who was extremely proud, an offer in money for his mirror, as it would probably offend him. The better plan would be, when he presented his letter of introduction, to offer him the hospitality of his house, and then Master Walter could take his own Opportunity of ingratiating himself in his favour; and it was very possible that the precious object which wealth could not purchase might thereupon be offered as a mark of gratitude and esteem.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
