-- 'I will give you a jewel of gold. '--'Not so; gold is heavy and cold. '--'I will give you a velvet fold Of foreign work your beauty to deck. '--'Better I like my kerchief rolled Light and white round my neck. '-- 'Nay, ' cried he, 'but fix your own fee. '--She laughed, 'You may give the full moon to me; 80Or else sit under this apple-tree Here for one idle day by my side;After that I'll let you go free, And the world is wide. ' Loth to stay, but to leave her slack, He half turned away, then ...he quite turned back:For courtesy's sake he could not lack To redeem his own royal pledge;Ahead too the windy heaven lowered black With a fire-cloven edge. 90 So he stretched his length in the apple-tree shade, Lay and laughed and talked to the maid, Who twisted her hair in a cunning braid And writhed it shining in serpent-coils, And held him a day and night fast laid In her subtle toils. At the death of night and the birth of day, When the owl left off his sober play, And the bat hung himself out of the way, Woke the song of mavis and merle, 100And heaven put off its hodden grey For mother-o'-pearl.
