1So he went home again; and as he came near he saw his wife Ilsabill sitting on a very lofty throne made of solid gold,
2with a great crown on her head full two yards high; and on each side of her stood her guards and attendants in a row,
3each one smaller than the other, from the tallest giant down to a little dwarf no bigger than my finger. And before her
4stood princes, and dukes, and earls: and the fisherman went up to her and said, 'Wife, are you emperor?' 'Yes,' said
5she, 'I am emperor.' 'Ah!' said the man, as he gazed upon her, 'what a fine thing it is to be emperor!' 'Husband,' said
6she, 'why should we stop at being emperor? I will be pope next.' 'O wife, wife!' said he, 'how can you be pope? there is
7but one pope at a time in Christendom.' 'Husband,' said she, 'I will be pope this very day.' 'But,' replied the husband,
8'the fish cannot make you pope.' 'What nonsense!' said she; 'if he can make an emperor, he can make a pope: go and try
9him.' So the fisherman went. But when he came to the shore the wind was raging and the sea was tossed up and down in
10boiling waves, and the ships were in trouble, and rolled fearfully upon the tops of the billows. In the middle of the
11heavens there was a little piece of blue sky, but towards the south all was red, as if a dreadful storm was rising. At
12this sight the fisherman was dreadfully frightened, and he trembled so that his knees knocked together: but still he
13went down near to the shore, and said: 'O man of the sea! Hearken to me! My wife Ilsabill Will have her own will, And
14hath sent me to beg a boon of thee!' 'What does she want now?' said the fish. 'Ah!' said the fisherman, 'my wife wants
15to be pope.' 'Go home,' said the fish; 'she is pope already.' Then the fisherman went home, and found Ilsabill sitting
16on a throne that was two miles high. And she had three great crowns on her head, and around her stood all the pomp and
17power of the Church. And on each side of her were two rows of burning lights, of all sizes, the greatest as large as the
18highest and biggest tower in the world, and the least no larger than a small rushlight. 'Wife,' said the fisherman, as
19he looked at all this greatness, 'are you pope?' 'Yes,' said she, 'I am pope.' 'Well, wife,' replied he, 'it is a grand
20thing to be pope; and now you must be easy, for you can be nothing greater.' 'I will think about that,' said the wife.
21Then they went to bed: but Dame Ilsabill could not sleep all night for thinking what she should be next. At last, as she
22was dropping asleep, morning broke, and the sun rose. 'Ha!' thought she, as she woke up and looked at it through the
23window, 'after all I cannot prevent the sun rising.' At this thought she was very angry, and wakened her husband, and
24said, 'Husband, go to the fish and tell him I must be lord of the sun and moon.' The fisherman was half asleep, but the
25thought frightened him so much that he started and fell out of bed. 'Alas, wife!' said he, 'cannot you be easy with
26being pope?' 'No,' said she, 'I am very uneasy as long as the sun and moon rise without my leave. Go to the fish at
27once!' Then the man went shivering with fear; and as he was going down to the shore a dreadful storm arose, so that the
28trees and the very rocks shook. And all the heavens became black with stormy clouds, and the lightnings played, and the
29thunders rolled; and you might have seen in the sea great black waves, swelling up like mountains with crowns of white
30foam upon their heads. And the fisherman crept towards the sea, and cried out, as well as he could: 'O man of the sea!
31Hearken to me! My wife Ilsabill Will have her own will, And hath sent me to beg a boon of thee!' 'What does she want
32now?' said the fish. 'Ah!' said he, 'she wants to be lord of the sun and moon.' 'Go home,' said the fish, 'to your
33pigsty again.' And there they live to this very day.
