King: If I did it was in haste and in vexation,
and striving to save her from destruction.
Manus: I call you to keep to your word and
to give your daughter to no other one.
Queen: Speak out now, Dall Glic, and give
your opinion and your advice.
Dall Glic: I would say that this lad going away
would be no great loss.
Manus: I did not ask such a thing, but as it
has come to me I will hold to my right.
Queen: It would be right to throw him to the
hounds in the kennel!
Manus: (To King.) I leave it to the judgment
of your blind wise man.
Queen: (To Dall Glic.) Take care would you
offend myself or the King!
Manus: I put it on you to split justice as it
is measured outside the world.
Dall Glic: It is hard for me to speak. He
has laid it hard on me. My good eye may go
asleep, but my blind eye never sleeps. In the
place where it is waking, an honourable man, king
or beggar, is held to his word.
