I warned thee they were wise children . All people can be wise by reading of books . ' ` But are the books true ? ' Sir Richard frowned . ' I like not all this reading and writing . ' ` Ye-es , ' said Puck , holding the naked dandelion head at arm 's length . ` But if we hang all fellows who write falsely , why did De Aquila not begin with Gilbert the Clerk ? He was false enough . ' ` Poor false Gilbert . Yet , in his fashion , he was bold , ' said Sir Richard . ` What did he do ? ' said Dan . ` He wrote , ' said Sir Richard . ` Is the tale meet for children , think you ? ' He looked at Puck ; but ` Tell us ! Tell us ! ' cried Dan and Una together . THORKILD 'S SONG There 's no wind along these seas , Out oars for Stavanger ! Forward all for Stavanger ! So we must wake the white-ash breeze , Let fall for Stavanger !
A long pull for XXXXX !
