Oldal 29 [29]
Now do the sisters kneel, and beg forgiveness for their B
pride ;
And she is kind, as well becomes a noble Prince’s bride.
The wedding was most grand, and when they started on their
tour,
The King and Queen and all the court were standing round
the door ;
And, wishing that for them all happy things might come to
pass,
They all threw after them for luck old slippers—not of
glass.

m “ We'll work ourselves, and never have another kitchen-maid.
We have been idle all our lives,—we’ll try another way,
And be industrious instead—it really seems to pay.”
