Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 194
The aged King now grown quite gray,No princess needs to show the wav. 180 He seeks Her Grace (the former nurse)And asks the cause of this reverse. … The wrinkled Duchess wagged her head; The reason is simple enough, she said.Go search along the ditchs side; You 11 see how pygmies cross the tide! Pages run with twinkling legsAnd find the empty shells of eggs,Each equipped like a dainty boat,—A fairy racing shell afloat!
