Forest, stand like winter bare !
Maids of Dadi, gird on mourning ! Daughters, taste ye dark despair !
Dream no more of Easter raiment, for the Monastery ' Great ' Is Andritsos' only refuge, and the Turk is at the gate.
They bring guns from far Euripos, they bring cannon from the sea, They will storm the Monastery " But Andritsos, what does he ?
Oh ! he twirls his black moustaches, and he combs his raven hair, And he feasts and holdeth revel on the monastery fare.
Oh ! he twirls his black mousta...ches, and a smile is on his face, " Be my feet like hinds' in running, they shall never know disgrace." Then he calls his Pallikars, and they hasten to his call.
Trusty lads and stalwart heroes, with sword and musket all.
" Draw the falchion from the scabbard ! fling the Monks' dark portal wide !
Charge for the love of Hellas " But none may stem that tide; They shall hear the sabre swinging ; they shall feel Andritsos smite : There be dames to weep bewidowed o'er Turkey's lords to-night !
23 Hellenic Ballads IV LITTLE JOHN (KONTO-IANNES) Konto-Iannes, whose name recalls that of Little John, the boon com- panion of Robin-Hood in our own English folk-lore, was a member of a distinguished family of hereditary chieftains, who lived at the Eastern extremity of the long range of Mount Othrys, and bade perpetual defiance to the Turks dwelling on the plains of Thessaly.
