come to an understanding , I do not think that thou canst be very far off the scent . It is not so difficult to govern men , so that thou govern not too much . Go where thou mayst , thou . findest the same laws greater than those of King or Governor . It ' s work is the true charter ; freedom , is the true seed of loyalty . Go and see the Capeman driving his cattle ; come and see the digger , hewing out the gold ; go and see the backwoodsman in the North-West clearing the forest—it is always the same . Stand amid the dark forests , see the broad river from , the lakes fall over the rock , and ask if the Queen of Victory can lift back that weight of -waters ; or see the trees that have fallen under thy stroke , and ask if the Queen , with all her power , can lift that axe , or lay low that tall growth of ages . But I tell th . ee , lad , that the stoutest loses heart for work when he is a prisoner at his work , and cannot love those that hold him bond . Now , thou hast done half thy journey , and I counsel thee to go home with a good heart , not looking for what thou seekesfc to the right nor to the left , but expecting that at will come to thee in the straight path . " III . So the Prince went back to the town , took ship again , and patiently voyaged home . As he went , he bethought him of all the strange lessons that experience had taught . Strange it is that the farther he went from his mother ' s palace and from the reach of her Ministers , the happier were the geop le ! Strange that the freer each man was , the more loyal he became ! trange that the more each could produce for himself , the more he yielded for others ! He had found what he had not sought * but still wanted the promised gift . At length he arrived in the -wood where he had seen the Fairy . As he entered it ^ he met him with a smiling countenance ; silently
giving him her hand to kiss , she left in his a small band with a buckle at one end , "" The Prince looked at it curiously . It was a plain belt of ailk , with the pure rich white untouched by dye ; the buckle was formed like a golden spur with a red cross for the tongue ; and on the belt , in magic letters of gentle shining light , which could be read in whatever direction the belt was held , he saw this legend— " Honi soit qui vial y pense . " He looked up to ask the Fairy what that gift meant , but she was gone . Greatly oppressed with doubt , he left the wood , and went straight to his mother . " How long , my child , " she cried , " you have been wandering i& the gardens!—how fatigued you look!—nay , ten years older ! " Then the Prince , reminding her of his wish , showed her his present , asking her if she could tell him what it meant , since that kind , cruel Fairy had not done so ? The Queen looked at the belt and blushed , " Por , " slie cried , " it is a garter —not a garter of the pattern of my Herald ' s College , but a , real woman's garter—and it is still warm 1 " She answered his question by asking him how he he had got such a gift ; and he told her , how a common working man , such as he might have ridden over in the town , had given him liis shoes , which he showed to her ; how he had wandered all over her dominions , even to the other side of the globefeeling hunger , enduring toil , facing death , wandering in pure trust , even as her people do ; and how , when he came back , the Fairy gave him that as the thing he sought—that gentle pledge whose counterfeit is the proudest badge of the noblest in the land . Then , reading the words , " Honi soit qui mal y pense" and murmuring— - " To work , to know , and to think no evil !"—the Queen kissed her son , and said , " Go , my child , you have what you sought !"
