T N the days of ycre, 'when this land
1 w’as governed by many kings, n-

had an only daughter, and fhe was
wife, fair, and beautiful. Her father
lent forth a decree, that whoever would
watch one night with his daughter,
and neither lieep nor Humber, he
(hould have her the next day in mar-
riage; but, if he did either, he iliould
loie his head.——Many Knights and
Squires attempted it, butvldlt their

ready to receive him; and tine better
to lull his fenfes, he was placed in
a rich eafy chair, having delicious
wine's for his flipper* with many fine
difhes of iruit, &c. of which the ihep-
iierd ate and drank plentifully, info-
much, that he began to flu ruber be-

according to. his diredlions, he fell M

he drew it from her. The kinghs
daughter was fo plea fed with it, that
{he killed it, declaring it was the fin-

think you could get me one more ?
He aiifwered, Mayhap, I may, when

other fifh ; which {he aifo extolled and
praifed, faying, It was ten times finer
than the other ; and then gave him
leave to deep, promifing to excufe him
lo her father.
In.the morning, the king came into
the hall as ulual, followed by the heads-
man, with a hatchet ; but the lady
cried out, Yon may return with your
hatchet, here is ho work for you.
