      TO THE BOY ORIC

      Dear son, this twisted, tangled web of whims

      For you was woven while you scarcely knew

      The simplest speech men use; but infant limbs,

      That round and smooth in dimpled fairness grew,

      Waved for all word in a babe's perfect glee,

      So wondrous sweet to see.

      It is not stranger than this world must seem

      To one who its vagaries first does scan;

      It is less weird than the enchanted dream

      Which life may change to ere you be a man.

      Such as it is, take it for this alone,—

      That it is all your own.

      Those who together wrought its colors gay,

      And its fantastic warp and woof entwined,

      May not again for you in work or play

      Together labor. Yet the loving mind

      In which they then were one will still be one

      Till life and sense be done.

      PRINCE VANCE.

      I.

      t was certainly not strange that Prince Vance was so stupefied with astonishment that he sat for a full half-hour foolishly staring before him, without an effort to move a muscle or to stir from his seat. Indeed, it is probable that any other prince in the same circumstances would have been equally struck dumb with amazement,—as any one may see who will attend while I go back to the beginning, and relate what had happened.

      By the beginning is meant the birth of Prince Vance, when the powerful fairy Copetta had been chosen his godmother, since which time she certainly had not devoted herself to being agreeable to the Prince. She had insisted, for instance, that her godson should pay attention to his lessons; that he should show respect to his tutors; and, what was most outrageous of all, that he, Prince Vance, only son of his parents and sole heir to the kingdom, should learn to obey. She had coolly informed her godson, moreover, that if he did not obey her willingly, it would certainly be the worse for him; since learn he must, by harsh means, if no others would move him.

      All this seemed to Vance a most unpleasant and unreasonable sort of talk, and, as may be imagined, it did not increase his love for his godmother. So things had gone on from bad to worse between them until Vance was a fine, lusty lad beginning his teens, when one day the Blue Wizard came to court.

      Vance had been having
