Blind Man.
May that young man with yellow hair
Find yellow money everywhere!
Fair Young Man. I heard the world and his wife were stopping at the door to give a welcome to Raftery, and I thought I would not be behindhand. And here is something for the fiddler (puts money in the plate). I would sooner see that fiddler than any other fiddler in the world.
Blind Man.
May that young man with yellow hair
Buy cheap, sell dear, in every fair.
Fair Young Man (to Martin). How does he know I have yellow hair and he blind? How does he know that?
Martin. Hush, my head is going round with the wonder is on me.
Mary. No wonder at all in that. Maybe it is dreaming we all are.
(A grey-haired man and two girls come in.)
Grey-Haired Man (laying down a sack). The blessing of God here! I heard Raftery was here in the wedding-house, and that he would let no one in without a present. There was nothing in the cart with us but a sack of potatoes, and there it is for you, ma'am.
