"HARK! HARK! THE LARK AT HEAVEN'S GATE SINGS,

AND PHOEBUS 'GINS ARISE,

HIS STEEDS TO WATER AT THOSE SPRINGS

ON CHALICED FLOWERS THAT LIES;

AND WINKING MARY-BUDS BEGIN

TO OPE THEIR GOLDEN EYES;

WITH EVERYTHING THAT PRETTY IS,
MY LADY SWEET, ARISE;

ARISE, ARISE!"

[graphic]

URING the time of Augustus Cæsar, Emperor of Rome, there reigned in England (which was then called Britain) a king whose name was Cymbeline.

Cymbeline's first wife died when his three children, two sons and a daughter, were very young. Imogen, the eldest of these children, was brought up in her father's court; but by a strange chance the two sons of Cymbeline were stolen out of their nursery when the eldest was but three years old, and the youngest quite an infant; and Cymbeline could never discover what had become of them, or by whom they were taken away.
