They seated proudly on their ivory thrones, And scorning hira : and of their peaked hoods, And garments w^rought upon, each with the tale Of him that wore it, — all his manful deeds (Yea, and about their skirts were effigies Of kings that they had slain ; and some, whose swords Many had pierced, wore vestures all of red. To signify much blood) : and of their pride He told, but of the vision in the tent He told him not. And when they reached the house, Niloiya met them, and to Japhet cried, " Al...l hail, right fortunate ! Lo, I have found A STORY OF DOOM. 187 A maid. And now thou hast done well to reap The late ripe corn." So he went in with her, And she did talk with him right motherly : " It hath been fully told me how ye loathed To wed thy father's slave ; yea, she herself, Did she not all declare to me ? " He said, " Yet is thy damsel fair, and wise of heart." *' Yea," quoth his mother ; " she made clear to me How ye did weep, my son, and ye did vow, ' I will not take her ! ' Now it was not I That wrought to have it so."' And he replied, " I know it." Quoth the mother, *' It is well ; For that same cause is laughter in my heart." " But she is sweet of language," Japhet said.
