# Five Excellent New Songs (c. 1790, "My Wife has ta'en the Gee")/My Wife has ta'en the Gee

My Wife has ta’en the Gee.
A Friend of mine came here yeſtreen, and he wad hae me down, To drink a pot of ale wi’ him, in the next burrow town; But that indeed it was muckle the war for me, For long before that I came hame, my wife ſhe’d ta’en the gee. The gee O, the gee O, My wife ſhe’d ta’en the gee, For lang before that I came hame, my wife ſhe’d ta’en the gee.
We ſat ſae late, we drank ſae ſtout, the truth I tell to you, That long before the middle o’ the night, we were a’ roaring fou. My wife ſat at the fire ſide, the tear ſtood in her eye, And the ne’er a bed wad ſhe gang to, but ſit and tak the gee. The gee O, &c.
The morn-at-een when I came hame, the ne’er a word ſhe ſpake, But mony a ſigh and ſour look and ay her head ſhe ſhook,
I ſaid my dear, What ails thee, to look ſae ſour at me? I’ll never do the like again, if thou’ll no tak the gee. The gee O, &c.
When that ſhe heard, ſhe ran, ſhe flang her arms about my neck, Gave me twenty kiſſes in a crack, and poor thing ſhe grat; If you’ll no do the like again, but ſtay at home with me, I’ll lay my life, I’ll be the wife, that will ne’er tak the gee, The gee O, the gee O, &c.
# Five Excellent New Songs (c. 1790, "My Wife has ta'en the Gee")/The Grand Tack

The Grand Tack.
Tune. Clout the Caldron.
The globe of earth, on which we dwell, is tack’d unto the poles, Sir; The little worlds our carcaſſes, Lare tack’d unto our ſouls, Sir: Tal, lal, deral, &c.
The parſon’s work is taylor like, to tack the ſoul to heav’n; The doctor’s is to keep the tack ’twixt ſoul and body ev’n: Tal, lal, deral, &c.
The prieſt beſides by office tacks the huſband to the wife, Sir; And that’s a tack (God help them both) which always holds for life, Sir.
The lawyer ſtudies how to tack his client to the laws, Sir; Th’ attorney tacks whole quires and reams to lengthen out his cauſe, Sir.
The commons, lords, and Britiſh crown, are all three tack’d together, And ſhou’d they chance to be untack’d, no good can come of either.
The crown is tack’d unto the church, the church unto the crown, Sir; The Whigs are ſlightly tack’d to both, and ſo may ſoon come down, Sir.
Since all the world’s a general tack of one thing to another; Then why about an honeſt tack do fools make ſuch a pother? Tal, lal, deral, &c.
# Five Excellent New Songs (c. 1790, "My Wife has ta'en the Gee")/The Rose in Yarrow

The Rose in Yarrow.
’Twas Summer, & the day was fair, Reſolv’d a while to fly from care, Beguiling thought, forgetting ſorrow, I wander’d o’er the banks of Yarrow!
Till then deſpiſing beauty’s pow’r, I kept my heart, my own ſecure; But Cupid’s art, did there deceive me, And Mary’s charms do now inſlave me.
Will cruel love no bribe receive! No ranſom take for Mary’s ſlave? Her frowns of reſt and hope deprive me, Her lovely ſmiles like light revive me. No bondage may with mine compare, Since firſt I ſaw this charming fair; This beauteous flow’r, this roſe of Yarrow In nature’s gardens has no marrow.
Had I of Heav’n but one requeſt, I’ll aſk to lie on Mary’s breaſt: There would I live or die with pleaſure, Nor ſpare this world one moment’s leiſure Deſpiſing kings, and all that’s great, I’d ſmile at courts and courtier’s fate, My joy complete on ſuch a marrow, I’d dwell with her, and live on Yarrow.
But tho’ ſuch bliſs I ne’er ſhould gain, Contented ſtill I’ll wear my chain, In hopes my faithful heart may move her; For, leaving life, I’ll always love her. What doubts diſtract a lover’s mind? That breaſt, all ſoftneſs, muſt prove kind; And ſhe ſhall yet become my marrow, The lovely, beauteous roſe of Yarrow.

The Jolly Sailor’s Wedding.
Give my ſervice to the young man, that lies in the town below; Tell him that I will go with him, whether my mother will or no.
With young Jamie I will travel, through the nation far abroad; I’ve made a vow, that I’ll be married if my mother ſhould go mad.
O dear Jeany, I pray Jeany, let this fooliſh talking be, For young Jamie he’s a ſailor, and muſt ſerve his majeſty.
If with Jamie you ſhould marry, and in the wars he ſhould be ſlain, Then you’re left a mournful widow, thus in ſorrow to complain.
Ripeſt apples, ſooneſt rotten, hotteſt love is ſooneſt cold; Too fond maids are eaſy counſell’d, tho’ they’re ſlighted when they’re old.
O dear Katty, you ſeem witty, but your counſel’s all in vain, For with Jamie I will marry, tho’ my parents me diſdain.
A fig for gold, a fig for treaſure, he’s the riches I adore, My delight’s in a jovial ſailor, and ſhall be for evermore.
Some delights for to be married, other laſſes to be free, But my delight’s in a jovial ſailor, becauſe I know that he loves me:
Now briſk Jeanie ſhe’s got married, and is made young Jamie’s wife, This young ſailor, briſk and jolly, vows he loves her as his life.
When her mother ſhe beheld him, many a ſhilling down ſhe told, Unto her daughter for a portion, freely did reſign her gold.
Five hundred pounds upon the table, moſt willingly to them ſhe gave, Crying, you ſhall have my bleſſing, while I have a day to live.
Trumpets ſounding, colours flying while the cannons they did roar, Jovial ſailors loud huzzaing, that had lately come on ſhore.
Here was drinking, dancing, kiſſing, while the muſic it did play, At this noble ſailor’s wedding, for to crown the joyful day.

Kissing no Sin.
Some ſay kiſſing’s a ſin; but I ſay that winna ſtand; It is a moſt innocent thing, and allow’d by the laws of the land.
If it were a tranſgreſſion, the miniſters it would reprove. But they, their elders and ſeſſion, can do it as well as the lave.
’Tis lang ſince it came in faſhion, I’m ſure it will never be done, As long as there is a nation, a lad, laſs, wife, or a lown.
What can I ſay more to commend it? tho’ I ſhould ſpeak all my life, Yet this I will ſay in the end o’t, let ev’ry man kiſs his ain wife.
Let him kiſs her, clap her, and dawt her, and dye her benevolence due, And that will a thrfity wife make her; and ſae I’ll farewel to you
Finis.

OTHER WILES OF THE EVIL GOD
TEZCATLIPOCA was not satisfied with the mischief he had wrought at Texcalapa. He knew the reverence of the people for his enemy, the white god, and summoned them all to work in the flower-garden which belonged to that kind deity, using the disguise of one of their respected soldiers when he called them together. While the people were bent at their work he passed down the line knocking them on the head with a stout wooden hoe, and in this he exhibited such a fury that all ran away who could, and many were trodden and killed in the panic. He lighted the peak of Zacatepec, and the Toltecs nearly died in their ​terror. He threw stones upon them in showers, and the sight of one great meteor was so appalling that many of them went mad and ran to the blistering hot stone, after it had fallen, as to an altar, and were there killed. He turned all provisions sour, so they could not eat them; then, disguised as an old woman, he roasted maize and threw the scent of it to every quarter, until the people became delirious with appetite and ran to the house in the white god's garden, whence the odor came, to beg or buy the food. As each one reached the door Tezcatlipoca struck him dead. At another time this god sat in the market-place of Tula with a dancing manikin in his hand, and the gaping multitude so pressed about him to see miracles that many had their breath squeezed out, while others fell and were crushed. Then Tezcatlipoca cried, in derision, "You fools! Don't you see that you are deceived? You kill each other instead of killing us!" This angered the company. They gathered stones out of the street and killed the sorcerer and his manikin. The corpse lay so long in the public place that the air was tainted by it and the people were sickened, yet none could move it. The corpse itself demanded to be cast out of the town, and the crier summoned all the people to bear a hand. A long rope was tied to the neck of the carcass, and the men bent back with a will. Snap went the rope, and down went the men, who, striking on their heads on the ​stones, became as soundly dead as Tezcatlipoca was not. Again they hauled, again the rope broke, and again several were killed. Then said the corpse, "You need a song. Sing after me." And he intoned a verse, which the Toltecs sang in unison, pulling together at certain words, just as sailors do at the heaviest part of a lift; and so the body was taken out, though not till more lives had been lost in the moving. When the survivors returned to their homes they could remember nothing of all this, for it was as if they had been drunk.

THE AZTEC TANNHÄUSER
THE Venus of Mexico was Tlazoleotl, a goddess of lustrous beauty, who lived in the ninth heaven in a garden of many delights, attended by little, misshapen people and clowns who danced and sang for her and ran with messages. No-where else were such sparkling waters, nowhere else such glorious flowers, nowhere else such luring eyes as hers. She was bold in her amours and made others love on whom she cast her spell, for if one but touched a blossom in her garden of Xochiquetzal he would love constantly. Weaving and spinning a gorgeous fabric, she looked earthward, and on the lonely pillar of rock called Tehuehuetl she saw a naked, wasted man. This devotee, Yappan, had separated himself from the ​world, the flesh, and the eighty-seven devils, and retired to this lonely pinnacle to pray and purify himself. The gods set his enemy, Yaotl, to spy upon him, to see that he kept his place and his intention, and, indeed, he would not look on the women whom the gods sent down from time to time to tempt him. He began to rise in the estimation of the watchers in the sky, and they debated as to how soon he might be translated and become as one of them. But Tlazoleotl, angry that love and beauty should be spurned, though in the desert, cried to the other gods, "Do not suppose that your hero can resist my charm. He cannot come to heaven yet. His vow is worthless." She descended to the rock, unveiled her shining form, and said, "Brother, I am Tlazoleotl. I come to comfort you after your weary vigils in this place, for I admire your constancy and am sorry for your pains." Then the watchful spy was glad, for the goddess had conquered, and her lover and victim lay on the rock whence she had vanished, imploring mercy and beating his breast in self-contempt. Yaotl stole upon Yappan, and with a slash of his stone axe struck his head from his shoulders. The gods turned Yappan into a scorpion, whose forearms are often lifted, praying, and he crawled under the stone where he had dwelt, while Yaotl hurried away to the village where the pious man's wife lived, led her to the rock on which Yappan had perished, told her the story of ​his failure, sin, and death, and while she wept smote off her head too. She also became a scorpion and joined her husband, and from these two have come all the scorpions that hide beneath stones in shame and fear. But Yaotl had been too eager in his enmity to the fallen saint, and he had no excuse for slaying his wife, so the gods turned him into a locust,—a food for scorpions.

​SVENDBORG, a seaport of Denmark, capital of the amt (county) of its name, on the south shore of the island of Fiinen. Pop. (1901), 11,543. The situation is pleasant. The narrow Svendborg Sund separates Fiinen from the lesser islands of Taasinge and Turo, of which the former rises to 245 ft. Inland from the town there is also elevated ground, the Ovinehoi. The harbour is accessible to vessels drawing 20 ft. There are tobacco and earthenware manufactories, hoat-building yards, and dis- tilleries. Butter is the principal export, and petroleum, coal and iron the imports. Neighbouring to the town are the ruined castle of Orkil, the watering-place Christiansminde, and the extensive orchards of Gammel Hestehave, where wine is produced.

# Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders/The Dwarf's House

Layout 2
THE DWARF'S HOUSE
UXMAL has three famous ruins, the palace of Las Monjas, the Governor's House, and the Dwarf's House, which are monuments of an extinct civilization, and remarkable for the soundness of the masonry and the richness of their decoration. The Dwarf's House crowns a steep mound a hundred feet high. It contains three rooms decorated with masonic symbols, with an elephant's head above the entrance. A curtain formerly concealed the rites and tragedies enacted within. Its story is this: The son of a famous witch was a favorite among the people, although he was a mere dwarf in size. They courted him, because they feared his mother. The gifts and flattery lavished on this little creature excited the jealousy of the king, who, pretending kindness, took him into his family and by gradually increasing honors that involved the doing of much work he hoped to exhaust the boy and bring him into contempt for disobedience, that he might punish him with death. But with the help of his mother the boy always managed to do what was required of him. At last the king ordered him to build a mound and a house on its top in a single night. He ran home, crying, "Mother, I am dead. This task is beyond me." And he told her what he had been commanded to do.
"Do not be troubled," answered the sorceress. "All will be well in the morning." ​Sure enough, there stood the mound and the house at sunrise. Though secretly enraged, the king thanked the dwarf and expressed his pleasure in the work. "And now," said he, "I give you my daughter in marriage. Only, it will be a condition that I first break six cocoyoles on your head."
"But I don't wish to marry, and I am not so vain or ambitious as to expect to wed into the family of a king. As to the nuts, I know that cocoyoles are very hard, and while my skull is as thick as some others, I doubt if it will stand the thumping."
"Pah! A mere ceremony. Surely a princess is worth a twinge."
The dwarf ran back to his mother. "He will surely kill me now," he said; and he told of his fresh misfortune.
"Go back and tell the king that you will let him break the nuts against your head if, afterward, he will let you break the same number against his."
The dwarf asked if this agreement would please his majesty, and the king laughed his willingness. He intended to kill the dwarf at the first blow. But the witch had rubbed a magic ointment on her son's head, so that it was like iron, and though the king broke all six of the cocoyoles over his head, the youth did not even wink. Greatly disappointed and much astonished, the king pretended to congratulate the dwarf on his courage and the firmness of his bones. Then, with some misgivings, he placed his own head on the earth, to undergo the ​same test. He did not survive it. The first blow smashed the cocoyol, but also cracked the monarch's pate. The test had been fair. The dwarf had proved himself the stouter of the two. So the populace buried the king and placed the dwarf on his throne, while his marriage to the princess was celebrated with great splendor.

# Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders/Gambling Away the Sun

Layout 2
GAMBLING AWAY THE SUN
THE disk of solid gold that represented the sun in the temple of Cuzco fell to one of Pizarro's scallawags, Mancio Sierra Lejesama, in a division of Peruvian spoil. It could be melted into doubloons enough to keep the wight in wine and bad company for ten years, if he could prevent his throat from being slit that long, and for a while he seriously thought of cutting away from his ruffling associates and returning to Spain to enjoy life as a guzzling libertine, and possibly to wear a title. But his old ways were too strong upon him. He had been a gambler, and a gambler he was still. Could he play but one more winning game and get some of his comrades' cups and rings away from them, there was no doubt that he would be able to live without work for the rest of his life. "Come, gentlemen," he cried, "I am going to give you the greatest chance you ever had. This time it is no beggarly handful of yellow boys we'll toss the cards for, but the great sun of Peru itself. We will play for the biggest stake in history." The game was long and earnest. Lejesama lost. He arose from the table silent, crushed, convinced as never before of his own folly. The gold was gone, but he brought out of his meditations what was better, a chastened spirit. He abandoned stealing and gaming, took an Inca's daughter to wife, worked for the welfare of the people he had ​injured, and left behind him, as a token of his re-form, a history of and tribute to the Peruvians. One of his sayings lives in Spain to this day. It is, "He plays the sun away before it rises." This means that a person is an incurable spendthrift.

An Act to prevent inconveniences which may happen by the untimely adjourning, proroguing, or dissolving this present Parliament.
Whereas great sums of money must of necessity be speedily advanced and provided for the relief of His Majesty's army and people in the northern parts of this realm, and for preventing the imminent danger it is in, and for supply of other His Majesty's present and urgent occasions, which cannot be so timely effected as is requisite without credit for raising the laid monies; which credit cannot be obtained until such obstacles be first removed as are occasioned by fears, jealousies and apprehensions of divers His Majesty's loyal subjects, that this present Parliament may be adjourned, prorogued, or dissolved, before justice shall be duly executed upon delinquents, public grievances redressed, a firm peace between the two nations of England and Scotland concluded, and before sufficient provision be made for the re-payment of the said monies so to be raised; all which the Commons in this present Parliament assembled, having duly considered, do therefore most humbly beseech your Majesty that it may be declared and enacted.
And be it declared and enacted by the King, our Sovereign Lord, with the assent of the Lords and Commons in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that this present Parliament now assembled shall not be dissolved unless it be by Act of Parliament to be passed for that purpose; nor shall be, at any time or times, during the continuance thereof, prorogued or adjourned, unless it be by Act of Parliament to be likewise passed for that purpose; and that the House of Peers shall not at any time or times during this present Parliament be adjourned, unless it be by themselves or by their own order; and in like manner, that the House of Commons shall not, at any time or times, during this present Parliament, be adjourned, unless it be by themselves or by their own order; and that all and every thing or things whatsoever done, or to be done for the adjournment, proroguing, or dissolving of this present Parliament, contrary to this Act, shall be utterly void and of none effect.
