That womanish complaints she did repress,

And temp'red for the time her present heaviness.

42 There she continued for a certain space,

1

Till through his want 1 her woe did more increase :
Then, hoping that the change of air and place
Would change her pain, and sorrow somewhat ease,
She parted thence, her anguish to appease.

Meanwhile her noble lord, Sir Artegall,
Went on his way, ne ever hour did cease,
Till he redeemèd had that lady thrall:
That for another canto will more fitly fall.

Spenser relates Artegall's further adventures, but does not again mention Britomart. However, since both Merlin and the priest of Isis have prophesied her happy union with the knight of Justice, we are not left in doubt regarding her future.

1 His want, i.e. her want of him.

The “Seven Little Sisters" represent the seven races, and the book shows how people live in the various parts of the world, what their manners and customs are, what the products of each section are and how they are interchanged.

"Each and All" continues the story of Seven Little Sisters, and tells more of the peculiarities of the various races, especially in relation to childhood.

Dame Nature unfolds in "Stories Mother Nature Told" some of her most precious secrets. She tells about the amber, about the dragon-fly and its wonderful history, about water-lilies, how the Indian corn grows, what queer pranks the Frost Giants indulge in, about coral, and starfish, and coal mines, and many other things in which children take delight. In "Ten Boys" the History of the World is summarized in the stories of Kabla the Aryan boy, Darius the Persian boy, Cleon the Greek boy, Horatius the Roman boy, Wulf the Saxon boy, Gilbert the Knight's page, Roger the English boy, Fuller the Puritan boy, Dawson the Yankee boy, and Frank Wilson the boy of 1885.

In "Ten Boys" one is struck with the peculiar excellence of its style, clear, easy, graceful, and picturesque, which a child cannot fail to comprehend, and in which children of a larger growth" will find an irresistible charm. - John G. Whittier.
