found in a while his life of laziness irksome. Climb me, the bean-stalk said with a whisper. Jack,reascending, Swarmd to the wonderful isle once more, and highhabitation; Led by the fairy returnd to the fortress, passd to thekitchen, Unseen, hied him again to the saucepans grimy recesses, Peepd out… … 53 So this, with a sharp treble ting-tong,Playd him an air, a delightful, long-drawn, national anthem,Playd him an air, untouchd, (the strings, by a fairy magicianWrought, were alive).
