Oiler upon a time there was a certain Queen, whose name was
and who had a very large family of daughters. Her
Nashmal having long since been dead, the family was a source of
Zrust anxiety to her, and she kept them at home, as well as she
moat in a beautiful bower of roses and lillies. Her eldest daughter,
• Ur Brillianta, was so exceedingly handsome that she attracted
**era of Prince Eblis, who sought her hand, but was rejected,
.m 94 (ally by the young lady, but by her mother and all the
tenor_ shortly afterwards the Prince Peacock, a gay bachelor,
domain joined that of the Queen Goldenwing, becoming
any(' a single blessedness, proclaimed that he would give a
=Lad lath, and invited everybody, far and near, in the hope
acct, from amongst the lathes he might select a wife. The
fair Brillianta, with all her sisters, went to the Prince's ball,
val3ote be ab once became enamoured of her, and arrangements
Me their marriage were being made by Queen Goldenwing,
Idyls Prince Eblis, hearing of this, became so curved that,
while the Queen was at the Palace of Prince Peacock, having sent
'her children home to the Bower, he resolved to burn that beautiful
,b lace to the ground, and all the family in it. Fortunately the
fair Brillianta remained with the Prince, carefully enclosed in a
Sne and lovely rose, to guard her from harm. As the Queen and
rhe l'Auce were looking from the battlements of the Palace at a
=eat comet which_ appeared at that time, a lurid light was
=Um-rain the sky, while voices in the air warned the Queen of
-what was doing by singing, " Ladye Bird, Ladye Bird, fly away
Itetne, your house is on fire, your children at home." On hearing
ftiv; the Queen became alarmed, and, with the Prince and her
ilaterter, attended by, the Double-faced Guards, who never turned
Theirlateks on an enemy, because they could not, flew to the scene
'unix conflagration, where, in spite of the exertions of the good
?airy firemen, the Prince and his Guards were completely van-
lied by Prince Elbis, and Brillianta was nearly in his power
athen King Fog, who had one night protected some of the little
lalye bird children of Goldenwing, when they had stayed out too
Ike& :veal become lost in his mists, suddenly appeared, and, calling
o tiNrir aid a shower of rain, not only extinguished the flames of
:the burning Bower, but so befriended Prince Peacock and the fair
BrEa.data, that they eventually became united and lived happy
ewer after.
