• • •lesses of the triumph. By way of making sure of
it prey, however, they leave the fairy prison under the
4 -_,r,uard of certain ladies of the court, who thought-
les;ly accept the dangerous offie. Rash ladies, and
short-sighted swains ! Were they ignorant that no lady
0* a certain or uncertain age has ever really passed
that fabled limit of time beyond which the wiles and
• •:cheries of love are said to be without effect, and his arrows
fall powerless? The result of the false step is not long in
doubt; cajoled, subdued, ensnared, the lady gaolors are pri-
soners in their turn, and Fleurette and her friends are sum-
moned to take part in the wild mockery and mischievous
glee with which the successful conspirators dance round the
cage, and pour in their pitiless arrows on its inmates.
Wonder and wrath are the mildest feelings with which His
Mightiness and the court, who now arrive, view such pro-
ceedings. The ladies are freed at the voice of Authority,
but not without many a wound in witness of the Archers'
prowess. Love now gathers all his forces, and the battle-
royal, the decisive engagement of the campaign begins. The
issue is soon evident. Fierce, frequent, and inevitable, pours
the arrowy hail on the devoted courtiers. Love wins Youth
and Beauty from the grasp of Authority, and ascends with
them is glowing triumph, leaving his defeated fee such con-
solation as he may find in the fit society of the courtly forms,
which, stiff and gorgeous with brocade and hoop, armed at
all points with powder, patch, and fan, rise from all quarters
of the dull nether-earth, where Authority is left to rule, as
best he may—these his proper subjects."
