It makes the brain wild. Be still, Amak:

I’ll give you the strange man your father brought,

And he will run with you upon his back to-day.

Come from your father or you’ll get no cake;

He’s been a long journey.

Bring me the pictured book he brought for you.

What! Already cut to pieces?

Put away that horn from your father’s ear,

And stay that horrid noise: come, Amak.

[Amak runs to his mother with a jade amulet, shouting.]
