that his body is the ready servant of his will, and does with

capable of.

So it is; yet let us sing
Honour to the old bowstring!
Honour to the bugle-horn!
Honour to the woods unshorn!
Honour to the Lincoln green! (p. 124)
Honour to the archer keen!
Honour to tight little John,
And the horse he rode upon!
Honour to bold Robin Hood,
Sleeping in the underwood:
Honour to Maid Marian,
And to all the Sherwood clan!
Though their days have hurried by
Let us two a burden try.

BALDWIN, JAMES.
The Story of Roland.
Scribner. 1.50
This romance tells of the great Charlemagne, and of his warriors,
Roland and Oliver and Ogier the Dane, all companions in arms. As James
Baldwin states, Roland is unknown to history, yet he is the typical
knight, the greatest hero of the Middle Ages. The story is culled from
the song-writers and poets of five centuries and of as many languages.
BALDWIN, JAMES.
The Story of Siegfried.
Illustrated by Howard Pyle.
Scribner. 1.50
From the many versions, Elder and Younger Edda, Volsunga Saga, and
Nibelungen Lied, including modern sources, Mr. Baldwin has reshaped
this ancient tale. Though he sometimes draws material from his own
imagination, the essential parts of the myth remain unaltered.
CHURCH, A.J. (p. 125)
The Æneid for Boys and Girls.
Macmillan. 1.50
The famous wanderings are retold from Virgil in simple language.
Twelve illustrations in color accompany the text.

great siege. The volume contains twelve colored illustrations.

Songs and His Sayings, and gives a large number of additional myths
