In mirth they supped , and sleep soon closed their eyes ; But , lo ! when midnight came , the wife did hear Her husband 's voice that called : `` My Jelka dear , Come , my loved wife , and open quick thy doors . '' Distracted with great fear , she from her bed Sprang down , scarce knowing what to do ; but soon She hid the youth , then let her husband in . With feigning love she to his arms would fly , But he arrested her with frowning mien . `` Why didst thou not call quick thy maiden up To come and ope at once these doors of thine ? ''
