The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle: of rain has fallen these three days, neither has any threatened,

holdeth the waters of the heavens in his pewter pot, and he could

said he, "what butter wits hast thou in that head of thine!
Who could hold anger against such a one as thou art?"
So saying, they all stepped out once more, with the right foot foremost,
as the saying is.
