Recite the second part (minor) of the legend.
Then out came the jew's daughter
And she all dressed in green.
« Come back, come back, you pretty little boy,
And play your ball again. »
« I can't come back and I won't come back
Without my schoolfellows all.
For if my master he did hear
He'd make it a sorry ball. »
She took him by the lilywhite hand
And led him along the hall
Until she led him to a room
Where none could hear him call.
She took a penknife out of her pocket
And cut off his little head
And now he'll play his ball no more
For he lies among the dead.
How did the father of Millicent receive this second part?
With mixed feelings. Unsmiling, he heard and saw with wonder a jew's daughter, all dressed in green.
