There to dwell was very pleasant, Lovely was it to reside there; 590 Afterwards 'twas bad to live there, And unfit for me to live there. They were anxious for the maidens, And suspicious of the women, Lest the miserable wenches, And the fat and wicked creatures, Might by me be badly treated, Visited too much at night-time. But I hid me from the maidens, And the women's daughters guarded 600 Just as hides the wolf from porkers, Or the hawks from village poultry.
