mself in the cranny of a rock near the Giant's Cave, from which there was entrance down into Fairyland. He had not long to wait, for soon, with a crown on her head, a lady, royally arrayed, passed by out of the silvery moonlight into the dark cave. It was none other than the Maiden of the Green Forest. Now came a battle of magic and spells, as between the monk's own and those of the Green Forest Maiden. He moved forward to the mouth of the cave. Then summoning into his presence the spirits of the air and the cave, he informed them as to Benlli's vow to enrich the monastery, and to deliver the Green Forest Maiden to himself. Then, calling aloud, he said: "Let her forever be, as she now appears, and never leave my side." "Bring her, before the break of day, to the cross near the town of the White Minster, and there will I wed her, and swear to make her my own." Then, by the power of his magic, he made it impossible for any person or power to recall or hinder the operation of these words.
