Convention taken a different course, had they held long debates on the

it to Charles, had
conferences
been opened, had couriers been passing
and repassing during some weeks between Westminster and the Netherlands,
with projects and counterprojects, replies by Hyde and rejoinders by
Prynne, the coalition on which the public safety depended would have
been dissolved: the Presbyterians and Royalists would certainly have
quarrelled: the military factions might possibly have been reconciled;
and the misjudging friends of liberty might long have regretted, under

"
In her
fluttered
heart young May
Mused a dubious while:
"If he loves me as he says"--
Her lips curved with a smile:

At cockcrow we were sister-maids,
We may be brides at noon.
