For what would the gossiping yonkefs say ? And how they would crow, especially they Whom she had provoked by giving the slip, And jilted them all by marrying Rip I " You know, " said she, " how the slanderous crew Got the plaguy story afloat, somehow, That I charmed Rip s cider, and made him blue, Then bound him with the connubial vow, Before he got sober ; which is not true. And who would consent to marry me now, If known to have been unmarried by you ; With not a dollar of dower in view, And ...neither a maid, a widow, or vrouw ! " THE DOMINIE. 195 Thus Anneke seized on the Dominie s heart By her tea and tears and feminine art, And muddled, perhaps, the good man s head.

I tried to stop you from going ; but no ! Off, sir, you would go, and marry the beauties, As if you thought it the choicest of duties To cross on the ice-drifts o er Tappan Zee, And wade through snow to your horse s knee ; But / told you plainly how it would be ; And now I m glad that you went, for you see That I only told you of what I knew ; For what s a dream good for if t is n t true ?
