But there was a full evil cat that dwelt near by, and this cruel beast found no pleasure in the music that Joyous did make continually; nay, that music filled this full evil cat with a wicked thirst for the blood of that singing innocent, and she had no peace for the malice that was within her seeking to devise a means whereby she might comprehend the bird Joyous to her murderous intent. BUT THERE WAS A FULL EVIL CAT THAT DWELT NEAR BY AND THIS CRUEL BEAST FOUND NO PLEASURE IN THE MUSIC THAT JOYOUS DID MAKE CONTINUALLY NAY THAT MUSIC FILLED THIS FULL EVIL CAT WITH WICKED THIRST FOR THE BLOOD OF THAT SINGING INNOCENT AND SHE HAD NO PEACE FOR THE MALICE THAT WAS WITHIN HER SEEKING TO DEVISE A MEANS WHEREBY SHE MIGHT COMPREHEND THE BIRD JOYOUS TO HER MURDEROUS INTENT
 such reports as Master Sweetheart had already made. For when it cometh to knowing of that far-off land,--ah me, who knoweth more than the veriest little child? And oftentimes within the bosom of a little, helpless, fading one there bloometh a wisdom which sages cannot comprehend. So when she asked us we were wont to bid her go to Master Sweetheart, for he knew the truth and spake it. It is now to tell of an adventure which on a time befell in that full fair garden of which you have heard me speak. In this garden lived many birds of surpassing beauty and most rapturous song, and among them was one that they called Joyous, for that he did ever carol forth so joyously, it mattered not what the day soever might be. This bird Joyous had his home in the top of an exceeding high tree, hard by the pleasant arbor, and here did he use to sit at such times as the little people came into that arbor, and then would he sing to them such songs as befitted that quiet spot, and them that came thereto.  THAN TO CONFIRM SUCH REPORTS AS MASTER SWEETHEART HAD ALREADY MADE FOR WHEN IT COMETH TO KNOWING OF THAT FAR OFF LAND AH ME WHO KNOWETH MORE THAN THE VARIOUS LITTLE CHILD AND OFTENTIMES WITHIN THE BOSOM OF A LITTLE HELPLESS FADING ONE THERE BLOOMETH A WISDOM WHICH SAGES CANNOT COMPREHEND SO WHEN SHE ASKED US WE WERE WONT TO BID HER GO TO MASTER SWEETHEART FOR HE KNEW THE TRUTH AND SPAKE IT IT IS NOW TO TELL OF AN ADVENTURE WHICH ON A TIME BEFELL IN THAT FULL FAIR GARDEN OF WHICH YOU HAVE HEARD ME SPEAK IN THIS GARDEN LIVED MANY BIRDS OF SURPASSING BEAUTY AND MOST RAPTUROUS SONG AND AMONG THEM WAS ONE THAT THEY CALLED JOYOUS FOR THAT HE DID EVER CAROL FORTH SO JOYOUSLY IT MATTERED NOT WHAT THE DAY SOEVER MIGHT BE THIS BIRD JOYOUS HAD HIS HOME IN THE TOP OF AN EXCEEDING HIGH TREE HARD BY THE PLEASANT ARBOUR AND HERE DID HE USE TO SIT AT SUCH TIMES AS THE LITTLE PEOPLE CAME INTO THAT ARBOUR AND THEN WOULD HE SING TO THEM SUCH SONGS AS BEFITTED THAT QUIET SPOT AND THEM THAT CAME THERE TOO
