HOW WILLIAM THE NORMAN WON
HIS BRIDE.

Once, hundreds aud hundreds of years ago,
In "A country across the ocean
iflanders its name. IL you'd like to know,
There arose a dreadful commoiion;
And the cause OF il all-but IL never will do,

Who really can't listen without il.
Each get YOU n rocker. well cushioned. and then
While you sit at Your ease. YOU II discover
How il all came about in the days long ago.
When Wariike Young duke played the lover.
William the Norman, thew called him then,
But later in song and in story
As William the Conqueror, bravest Of men,
His name stands encircled with glory.
But though he was young, and staN art. and brave,
AT the time when my story commences
lie wore fetters as strong as the commonest knave
Committed for hcinous ofcnses.
And how did 1t hnppen2 All, cannot you guess
Like Samson, he'd fallen victim
To the charms Of maid, whose oveliness
Served only to wound and aiiict him.
But regardless of this, for seven long years
In patient attendance he waited,
Till some cruel words of hers reaching his ears,
His love for an instant ahatcd;
And-youl II hardly believe me- hut then Il was true
In moment of terrible passion
When he next met the maid, why. what did he 10
But give her regular thrashing.
All then what an uproar arose. what n din
In the streets Of that old Flemish city.
When once II was known that the Princess had been
Thus roughly insultcd; and pity
For the maltreatcd maid liked with anger and shame
The cnngor of drum, with loud voices, proc clamed
That the king led his army TO battle.
Just here in the story 'twould be delight
To give You n dijletent ending:
But the truth must be told, how, afcr fierce fight.
The Norman succeeded in sending
The brave Flemish host fleeing back In defeat,
And The H. not content. this Of. nder
Must nee DIS follow after, As IL To complete
The di grace OF each vanquished defender.
And what do you think hts errand when next,
As victor he entered their city2
To have guessed this Alright, would have greatly per-
picked
The brains of the wisest and witty:
For he came II suitor TO plead for the hand
OF the maid he so long had been wooing.
While she. to the wonder OF all In the land,

Once more in old Bruges the bells wildly played.
But the weapons of warfare lay idle
