Excerpt from Enoch Arden: And Other Poems A narrow cave ran in beneath the cliff In this the children play'd at keeping house. Enoch was host one day, Philip the next, While Annie still was mistress; but at times Enoch would hold possession for a week 'this is my house and this my little wife. 'mine too, ' said Philip; 'turn and turn about When, if they quarrell'd, Enoch stronger-made Was master: then would Philip, his blue eyes A11 flooded with the helpless wrath of tears, Shriek out, 'i hate you, Enoch, ' and at this The little wife would weep for company, And pray them not to quarrel for her sake, And say she would be little wife to both.
