THE KING.
Let me be in peace, then! A hollow tooth is hurting me. That's the reason I left the sleeping room so early.

THE KING.

MICHELE.
You concern yourself with entirely different things! You get up right after midnight to practice being a lickspittle and a trimmer! You get the master to give you the journeymen's work and divide the apprentice's work among us! You are a pest in the house!
BATTISTA.
Apprentice, bring us the morning soup!
