Arctic and Palamon.
Prose Tersion cfu Canterbury Tale
BY MARTHA ALBERTA FREEMAN.

Thebes was won; Creon slain; and
Duke Theseus, of Athens, flushed with
victory, and worn with the heat and
turmoil of battle, rested for the night
on the battlefield.
The pillagers going over the field,
stripping the corpses of the slain, came
upon the bodies of two young knights
lying side by side. There were faint
signs Of life about them; and, after a
thorough examination of their clothes,
armor, and weapons, the heralds de-
cided that these two were the sons Of
sisters, and that they were of royal
blood; SO they were carried to the tent
of Duke Theseus.
Theseus sent them to Athens, con
demning them to perpetual imprison-
ment. Thus these brave young knights,
Arctic and Palamon, dwelt for many
long, weary years in the tower Of the
great gloomy prison, with 70 hope OF
freedom, for the duke had said that
they might not be ransomed.
Now, Queen Ipolita, the wife of Duke
Thcseus, formerly queen of the Anna
IONS, had beautiful young sister
named Emile, who, we are told, was
fairer than 4 white lily upon its green
stalk, and sweetcr than the May flowers.
On the first Of May, Emile rose very
early to do honor to May. Indeed, the
dawn was just beginning to break, for
May will have no sluggards i'll her SER
vice. She walked up and down the
garden paths gathering flowers to
make Il garland for her beautiful golden
hair, and, as she went, she sang with a
voice like that of an angel
Now, the prison tower joined the
garden wall, and the windows-that is,
the gratings-overlooked the garden;
and Palamon, who was at that moment
walking restlessly up and down in one
of the upper rooms, Glanced to look
out, and saw the beautiful maiden in
the garden below, weaving her garland
of red and white blossoms He shrank
back with a cry, as if he had been NOR
tally wounded. Arctic, seeing his
strange action, started up from his
couch and came to him.
"W hat ailrth thee, Palamol? Why
our sad fate, my brother? Mourn not
for that, | pray thee; but endure with
courage and fortitude, as becometh q
knight Of high degree. We cannot
change our destiny"
Then Palamon made answer.
~ on are wrong, cousin mine. 1t is
not thoughts OF these prison walls
which cause ne to cry out in anguish.
| am sorely hurt in my heart through
my eyes, by the exceeding beauty of Il
lady whom | see walking in yonder
garden. Indeed, know not whether
she be mortal or goddess, but | opinc
It's Venus" Then he fell upon his
knees, and said: 80 Venus adored,
help us to escape. Think of our high
station and our lineage brought so low
by tyranny.
At this Arctic came to the window
and looked, and the beauty OF Emile
seemed to hurt him rs much rs it had
Palamon
II must look upon her forever, or
die" he cried, wotullv.
