Go to the damsel Priscilla, the loveliest maiden of Plymouth, Say that a blunt old Captain, a man not of words but of actions.
Offers his hand and his heart, the hand and heart of a soldier.
Not in these words, you know, but this in short is my meaning ; I am a maker of war, and not a maker of phrases.
You, who are bred as a scholar, can say it in elegant language, 1 68 THE COURTSHIP OF MILES STANDISH Such as you read in your books of the pleadings and woomgs of lovers, Such as you think best a...dapted to win the heart of a maiden." When he had spoken, John Alden, the fair-haired, taciturn stripling, All aghast at his words, surprised, embar- rassed, bewildered.
Trying to mask his dismay by treating the subject with lightness.
Trying to smile, and yet feeling his heart stand still in his bosom.
Just as a timepiece stops in a house that is stricken by lightning, Thus made answer and spake, or rather stammered than answered : " Such a message as that, I am sure I should mangle and mar it ; If you would have it well done, — I am only repeating your maxim, — You must do it yourself, you must not leave it to others !
