KIYOYORI (to the DEMONS).

Perhaps you would like to try some?

DEMONS.

Oh, thank you! (They eat greedily and snatch.) I want that bit! No, it’s mine! What a flavour!

YAMA.

I never tasted anything so nice. You have given us such a treat that I am going to send you back to the world to go on bird-catching for another three years.

KIYOYORI.

I am very much obliged to you, I’m sure.

CHORUS.
