When once a meal I wished to taste It said You must not bite When to the wars I went in haste It said You must not fight. What may I do? at length I cried, Tired of the painful task. The fairy quietly replied, And said You must not ask. Moral: You mustn't.

Each night he added to the pattern of his fancies until drowsiness closed down upon some vivid scene with an oblivious embrace.
