The point he had settled for himself was that here, by God's grace, was the one maid for him; and since that had been determined the wise course was for the mother not to waste time and energy bemusing (worrying) herself over the situation, especially as the girl offered no fundamental objections.
Thus the mother, of herself, learned a lesson that many another mother might profitably learn.
How wonderfully in his _Saul_ does Robert Browning set forth the opposite course to that of the worrier.

Here, the active principle of love and trust are called upon so that it uplifts and blesses its object.

David is represented as filled with a great love for Saul, which would bring happiness to him.

He strives in every way to make Saul happy, yet the king remains sad, depressed, and unhappy.

At last David's heart and his reason grasp the one great fact of God's transcending love, and the poem ends with a burst of rapture.
