Turn her hand away!

Whoso eats the porridge leaves our moonlit halls.

Pray, pray, pray,

Send the man away;

If she eats the porridge, down to earth she falls.

Cicely. [Snatching porridge and taking a bite.]

I have eaten! I’m free!

How rejoiced I shall be

When down to the earth I am dropping?

Oh! I’m dizzy! I freeze!
