           Ballad�此               �The Way Of Wooing 



    A maiden sat at her window wide�察�Pretty enough for a Prince's bride�察�

Yet nobody came to claim her。 She sat like a beautiful picture there�察�With 

pretty bluebells and roses fair�察�And jasmine´leaves to frame her。 And why 

she sat there nobody knows�察�But this she sang as she plucked a rose�察�The 

leaves around her strewing�此 �I've time to lose and power to choose�察�'T is 

not so much the gallant who woos�察�But the gallant's WAY of wooing� ─�

    A lover came riding by awhile�察�A wealthy lover was he�察�whose smile 

Some maids would value greatly ´ A formal lover�察�who bowed and bent�察�

With     many    a  high´flown     compliment�察     �And    cold  demeanour      stately�察�

;You've   still�察─  �said   she   to   her   suitor   stern�察   �The   'prentice´work   of   your 

craft to learn�察�If thus you come a´cooing。 I've time to lose and power to 

choose�察�'T is not so much the gallant who woos�察�As the gallant's WAY of 

wooing� ─�

    A second lover came ambling by ´ A timid lad with a frightened eye 

And a colour mantling highly。 He muttered the errand on which he'd come�察�

Then   only   chuckled   and   bit   his   thumb�察  �And   simpered�察  �simpered   shyly。 

;No�察─  �said   the   maiden�察   �go   your   way�察  �You   dare   but   think   what   a   man 

would say�察�Yet dare to come a´suing� �I've time to lose and power to choose�察�

'T is not so much the gallant who woos�察�As the gallant's WAY of wooing� ─�

    A third rode up at a startling pace ´ A suitor poor�察�with a homely face ´ 

No   doubts   appeared   to   bind   him。   He   kissed   her   lips   and   he   pressed   her 

waist�察�And off he rode with the maiden�察�placed On a pillion safe behind 

him。 And she heard the suitor bold confide This golden hint to the priest 

who tied The knot there's no undoing�察�With pretty young maidens who can 

choose�察�'Tis not so much the gallant who woos�察�As the gallant's WAY of 

wooing� ─�

Aquitaine。 

    They      thought    themselves     unwatched�察     �but   they   were    not�察  �For 

HONGREE�察        �Sub´Lieutenant      of  Chassoores�察   �Found    in  LIEUTENANT´

thought it not foul scorn to dodge his steps�察�And listen�察�unperceived�察�to all 

that passed Between the simple little Village Rose And HONGREE�察�Sub´ 

Lieutenant of Chassoores。 

    A   clumsy     barrack´bully    was   DUBOSC�察      �Quite   unfamiliar    with  the 

well´bred tact That animates a proper gentleman In dealing with a girl of 

humble rank。 You'll understand his coarseness when I say He would have 

married MAHRY DAUBIGNY�察�And dragged the unsophisticated girl Into 

the   whirl   of   fashionable   life�察  �For   which   her   singularly   rustic   ways�察  �Her 

breeding     ��moral�察   �but   extremely     rude���察  �Her    language     ��chaste�察  �but 

ungrammatical���察�Would absolutely have unfitted her。 How different to this 

unreflecting boor Was HONGREE�察�Sub´Lieutenant of Chassoores。 

    Contemporary   with   the   incident   Related   in   our   opening   paragraph�察�

Was that sad war 'twixt Gallia and ourselves That followed on the treaty

lines   Of   our   Sixth   HENRY  ��Fourteen   twenty´nine���察�To   drive   his   legions 

out of Aquitaine。 

    When       HONGREE�察         �Sub´Lieutenant       of    Chassoores�察     �Returned�察�

suspecting nothing�察�to his camp�察�After his meeting with the Village Rose�察�

He    found   inside   his  barrack   letter´box   A   note  from   the  commanding
