Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.

“I give thee all, I can no more” は、Thomas Moore (1779-1852) の “My heart and lute” の１行目のこと。
My heart and lute
I give thee all, — I can no more —
Tho' poor the offering be;
My heart and lute are all the store
That I can bring to thee.
A lute whose gentle song reveals
The soul of love full well;
And, better far, a heart that feels
Much more than lute could tell.
Tho' love and song may fail, alas!
To keep life's clouds away,
At least 'twill make them lighter pass,
Or gild them if they stay.
And even if Care at moments flings
A discord o'er life's happy strain,
Let Love but gently touch the strings,
'Twill all be sweet again!

Hush-a-bye, baby, on the tree top
Hush-a-bye, baby, on the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
Down will come baby, cradle, and all.
