every man should quit the table before he is satisfied
--there are some would walk to the door and back
with every bite.

_King_: Is it that I am to eat my meal standing,
the same as a crane in a shallow, or moving from
tuft to thistle like you'd see a jennet on the high
road?

_Queen_: Well, at the least, let you drink down
a share of this tansy juice. I was telling you it
would be answerable to your health.

_King_: You are doing entirely too much for me.

_Queen_: Sure I am here to be comfortable to
you. This house before I came into it was but
a ship without a rudder! Here now, take the
spoon in your hand.

_Dall Glic_: Leave it there, Queen, and I'll
engage he'll swallow it down bye-and-bye.

_Queen_: Is it that _you_ are meddling, Dall Glic?
It is time some person took you in hand. I wonder
now could that dark eye of yours be cured?

_Dall Glic_: It is given in that it can not, by
doctors and by druids.
