Queen: It is in his blood. He is maybe not
to blame for what is according to his nature.
Manus: That is so. I am doing what is according
to my nature.
(Goes, Nurse goes after him.)
Queen: (To Dall Glic.) Go throw a dishcloth
after him that the little lads may be mocking him
along the road!
Dall Glic: I will not. I have meddled enough
at your bidding. I am done with living under
dread. Let you blind me entirely! I am free
of you. It might be best for me the two eyes to
be withered, and I seeing nothing but the ever-living
laws!
Prince of Marshes: (Coming to Princess.) It is
my grief that with all the teachers I had there was
not one to learn me the handling of weapons or
of arms. But for all that I will not run away,
but will strive to strike one blow in your defence
against that wicked beast.
Princess: It is a good friend that would rid
us of him. But it grieves me that you should
go into such danger.
Prince of Marshes: (To Dall Glic.) Give me
some sword or casting spears.
(Dall Glic gives him spears.)
Princess: I am sorry I made fun of you a while
ago. I think you are a good kind man.
