Come to the fire.
THE CHILD. I'll sit upon your knee, For I have run from where the winds are born, And long-to rest my feet a little while. [_She sits upon his knee._ BRIDGET BRUIN. How pretty you are! MAURTEEN BRUIN. Your hair is wet with dew! BRIDGET BRUIN. I'll chafe your poor chilled feet. MAURTEEN BRUIN. You must have come A long long way, for I have never seen Your pretty face, and must be tired and hungry; Here is some bread and wine. THE CHILD. |
