Before him on the floor\nA juggler played his feats : nine balls he had,\nAnd flung them upward, eight in air at once,\nAnd one in hand : like swarm of summer bees\nTliey danced and circled, till his eye met mine ;\nThen he could catch no more ; but down they fell\nAnd rolled upon the floor. ' An evil eye\nHas seen me,' said the juggler ; and the child\nWho slept beside, awoke, and cried aloud,\n' Ossar ! good dog, hie forth and chase the thieves ! '\nThen judged I longer to remain were ill,\nBut, ere I left, discharged a rapid glance\nAround the house, beholding many a band\nOf able guardsmen corsleted and helm'd,\nOf captains, carriers, farriers, charioteers,\nHorseboys and laqueys, all in order set.\nAll good men of their hands, and weapon'd well.\" \n\nSaid Ferragon, \" If my advice were given,\n'Twould be to leave this onset unessayed.\" \n\n\" Pity to slay this king,\" said Lomna Druth :\n'* Since he has reigned there has not fallen a year\nOf dearth, or plague, or murrain on the land :\nThe dew has never left the blade of gra~3\nOne day of Conary's time, before the noon ;\nNor harsh wind ruffled hair upon the side\nOf grazing beast. Since he began his reign.\nFrom mid-spring to mid-autumn, cloud nor storm\nHas dimm'd the daily-shining, bounteous sun ; \n","Type":"Text"}}]
