Excerpt from The Queen's Maries: A Romance of Holyrood
Turn back, turn back, ye weel-fau'red May, My heart will break in three; And sae did mine on yon bonny hill-side, When ye wadna let me be!
Any a smiling plain, many a wooded slope and sequestered valley adorns the fair province of Picardy. Nor is it without reason that her Norman-looking sons and handsome daughters are proud of their birth place; but the most prejudiced of them will hardly be found to affirm that her seaboard is either picturesque or interesting; and perhaps the strictest search would fail to discover a duller town than Calais in the whole bounds of France.
