Rh ating, and the dove continued until the service was ended. In the old woodcuts of the Golden Legend, the Popes are uniformly distinguished by a Dove whispering in their ears." Anglia Sacra ii. 631.—.]

From Zwehrn. Another story called, Hansen's Trine, also from Hesse, likewise begins with lazy Trine asking, "What shall I do; shall I eat, or sleep, or work?" Hans finds her asleep in the room and cuts off her gown as far as her knees, and when she awakes, she is confused about her identity. On this last point a passage in Joh. Pomarius; Sächs Chronik. (1588), p. 14, should be observed, which says, "Whatsoever maid or wife shall be taken in adultery, her clothes shall be cut off beneath her girdle, and she shall be scourged and driven away from amongst the people." As a whole, the story of Clever Alice is allied to that of Catherlieschen, No. 59, and in one part is identical.

From a story in Frei's Gartengesellschaft, No. 61, and in Kirchhof's Wendunmut, 1. No. 230. A story varying a little in trifling points, is to be found in Wickram's Rollwagen (Frankfurt, 1590), pp. 98$b$. 99$b$. Fischart alludes to the story in Flohhatz (Dornavius, 390); only, according to him, it was told of St. Peter.
