the merings of Ulster.
_Princess:_ A freckled man. He had hair the colour of a fox. _King:_ I wish he didn't stop sending me his tribute of heather beer. _Queen:_ It is a poor daughter that will not wish to be helpful to her father. _Princess:_ If I am to wed for the furnishing of my father's table, it's as good for you to wrap me in a speckled fawnskin and roast me! _(Runs out, tossing her ball_.) _Queen:_ She is no way fit for marriage unless with a herd to the birds of the air, till she has a couple of years schooling. _King:_ It would be hard to put her back to that. _Queen:_ I must take it in hand. She is getting entirely too much of her own way. _Nurse:_ Leave her alone, and in the end it will be a good way. |
