# Æsop's Fables (V. S. Vernon-Jones)/The Wasp and the Snake

THE WASP AND THE SNAKE
A WASP settled on the head of a Snake, and not only stung him several times, but clung obstinately to the head of his victim. Maddened with pain the Snake tried every means he could think of to get rid of the creature, but without success. At last he became desperate, and crying, “Kill you I will, even at the cost of my own life,” he laid his head with the Wasp on it under the wheel of a passing waggon, and they both perished together.
# Æsop's Fables (V. S. Vernon-Jones)/The Wily Lion

THE WILY LION
A LION watched a fat Bull feeding in a meadow, and his mouth watered when he thought of the royal feast he would make, but he did not dare to attack him, for he was afraid of his sharp horns. Hunger, however, presently compelled him to do something: and as the use of force did not promise success, he determined to resort to artifice. Going up to the Bull in friendly fashion, he said to him, “I cannot help saying how much I admire your magnificent figure. What a fine head! What powerful shoulders and thighs! But, my dear friend, what in the world makes you wear those ugly horns? You must find them as awkward as they are unsightly. Believe me, you would do much better without them.” The Bull was foolish enough to be persuaded by this flattery to have his horns cut off; and, having now lost his only means of defence, fell an easy prey to the Lion.

# Young Lochinvar (3)/Young Lochinvar

YOUNG LOCHINVAR.
O! Young Lochinvar has come out of the west, Through all the wide border his steed was the best; And save his good broad sword, he weapons had none, He rode all unarm'd, and he rode all alone. So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war, There never was knight like the young Lochinvar.
He staid not for brake, and he stopp'd not for stone, He swam the Eske river where ford there was none; But, ere he alighted at Netherby gate, The bride had concented, the gallant came late; For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war, Was to wed the fair Helen of brave Lochinvar.
So boldly he enter'd the Netherby Hall, Among bridesmen, and kinsmen, and brothers and all; Then spake the bride's father, his hand on his sword, (For the poor craven bridegroom said never a word,) “O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war, Or to dance at our bridal, young lord Lochinvar?”
“I long woo'd your daughter, my suit you denied;— Love swells like the Solway, but ebbs at its tide— And now I am come with this lost love of mine, To lead but one measure drink one cup of wine. There are maidens in Scotland more lovely by far— That would gladly be bride to the young Lochinvar.”
​The bride kiss'd the goblet; the knight took it up, He quaff d off the wine, and he threw down the cup. She look'd down to blush, and she look'd up to sigh, With a smile on her lips, and a tear in her eye. He took her soft hand, e'er her mother could bar, “Now tread we a measure !" said young Lochinvar.
So stately his form, and so lovely her face, That never a hall such a galliard did grace; While her mother did fret, and her father did fume, And the bridegroom stood dangling his bonnet and plume; And the bride-maidens whisper'd 'twere better by far To have match'd our fair cousin with young Lochinvar.
One touch to her hand, and one word in her ear, When they reach'd the hall-door, and the charger stood near; So light to the croup the fair lady he swung, Se light to the saddle before her he sprung! She is won! we are gone, over bank, bush, and scaur; They'll have fleetsteeds that follow, quoth young Loch- invar,
There was mounting 'mong Grames of the Netherby clan; Forsters, Fenwicks, and Musgraves, they rode and they ran; There was racing and chacing, on Cannobie lee, But the lost bride of Netherby ne'er aid they see, So daring in love, and so dauntless in war, Have ye e'er heard of gallant like young Lochinvar.

SLEEPIN' MAGGY.
Mirk an' rainy is the night, No a starn in a' the carry, Lightnings gleam athwart the lift, An' win's drive wi' winter's fury. O are ye sleepin', Maggy, O are ye sleepin', Maggy ; Let me in, for loud the linn, Is roaring oʻer the warlock cragie.
​Fearfu' soughs the boor-tree bank, The rifted wood roars wild an' dreary, Loud the iron yate does clank, And cry o' howlets maks me eerie. O are ye sleepin', Maggy, &c.
Aboon my breath I darena speak, For fear I rouse your wankrife dadie, Cauld's the blast upon my cheek, O rise, rise my bonny lady! O are ye sleepin', Maggy, &c.
She's op't the door she's let him in, He cuist aside his dreeping plaidie; "Blaw your warst ye rain an' win, Since now I'm in aside ye Maggy."

BANKS OF BANNA.
Shepherds, I have lost my love, Have you seen my Anna, Pride of ev'ry shady grove, Upon the banks of Banna? I for her my home forsook, Near yen misty mountain, Left my flock, my pipe, my crook, Greenwood shade and fountain.
Never shall I see them more, Until her returning: All the joys of life are o'er, From gladness chang‘d to mourning Whither is my charner flown! Shepherd, tell me whither? Ah, woe for me! perhaps she's gone For ever, and for ever.
