Fairy:--He is my ungraceful child, Withered, bald, and light-headed, Weak-shouldered, and weak in his equipments, That have not been put to use. Mother:--He is my ruddy child, plump and praiseworthy; My yew-tree, my rush, raised to women; My bird and my eggs, since thou hast taken my time with thee, My watchful care, my calved-cows, and my heroes with thee; Last year thou wast under my girdle, Thou art this year neatly gathered Continually upon my shoulder Through the town. Fairy:--Hooh go googurach, Young women of the town, fond of delicacies and dresses, Hooh go googurach, With their brown ringlets, with their heavy tresses, With their abrupt breasts, with their brown eyes.
