Whilst these two walked in the full fair garden at that time they came presently unto an arbor wherein there was a rustic seat, which was called the Siege of Restfulness; and hereupon sate a little sick boy that, from his birth, had been lame, so that he could not play and make merry with other children, but was wont to come every day into this full fair garden and content himself with the companionship of the flowers. WHILST THESE TWO WALKED IN THE FULL FAIR GARDEN AT THAT TIME THEY CAME PRESENTLY UPON AN ARBOUR WHEREIN THERE WAS A RUSTIC SEAT WHICH WAS CALLED THE SIEGE OF RESTFULNESS AND HEREUPON SATE A LITTLE SICK BOY THAT FROM HIS BIRTH HAD BEEN LAME SO THAT HE COULD NOT PLAY AND MAKE MERRY WITH OTHER CHILDREN BUT WAS WONT TO COME EVERY DAY INTO THIS FULL FAIR GARDEN AND CONTENT HIMSELF WITH THE COMPANIONSHIP OF THE FLOWERS
all her Mistress Merciless; but her mercilessness was of a sweet, persuasive kind: for with the beauty of her face and the music of her voice and the exceeding sweetness of her virtues was she wont to slay all hearts; and this she did unwittingly, for she was a little child. And so it was in love that we did call her Mistress Merciless, just as it was in love that she did lord it over all our hearts. Upon a time walked she in a full fair garden, and there went with her an handmaiden that we did call in merry wise the Queen of Sheba; for this handmaiden was in sooth no queen at all, but a sorry and ill-favored wench; but she was assotted upon our little Mistress Merciless and served her diligently, and for that good reason was vastly beholden of us all. Yet, in a jest, we called her the Queen of Sheba; and I make a venture that she looked exceeding fair in the eyes of our little Mistress Merciless: for the eyes of children look not upon the faces but into the hearts and souls of others. AT ALL DID CALL HER MISTRESS MERCILESS BUT HER MERCILESSNESS WAS OF A SWEET PERSUASIVE KIND FOR WITH THE BEAUTY OF HER FACE AND THE MUSIC OF HER VOICE AND THE EXCEEDING SWEETNESS OF HER VIRTUES WAS SHE WONT TO SLAY ALL HEARTS AND THIS SHE DID UNWITTINGLY FOR SHE WAS A LITTLE CHILD AND SO IT WAS IN LOVE THAT WE DID CALL HER MISTRESS MERCILESS JUST AS IT WAS IN LOVE THAT SHE DID LORD IT OVER ALL OUR HEARTS ONCE UPON A TIME WALKED SHE IN A FULL FAIR GARDEN AND THERE WENT WITH HER A HANDMAIDEN THAT WE DID CALL IN MERRY WISE THE QUEEN OF SHEBA FOR THIS HANDMAIDEN WAS IN SOOTH NO QUEEN AT ALL BUT A SORRY AND ILL FAVOURED WENCH BUT SHE WAS ASSOTTED UPON OUR LITTLE MISTRESS MERCILESS AND SERVED HER DILIGENTLY AND FOR THAT GOOD REASON WAS VASTLY BEHOLDEN OF US ALL YET IN A JEST WE CALLED HER THE QUEEN OF SHEBA AND I MAKE A VENTURE THAT SHE LOOKED EXCEEDINGLY FAIR IN THE EYES OF OUR LITTLE MISTRESS MERCILESS FOR THE EYES OF CHILDREN LOOK NOT UPON THE FACES BUT INTO THE HEARTS AND SOULS OF OTHERS
