TEIG.

May he bring better food

Than the lean crow he brought us yesterday.

[MAIRE opens the door, and SHEMUS comes in with a dead wolf on his shoulder.

MAIRE.

Shemus, you are late home: you have been lounging

And chattering with some one: you know well

How the dreams trouble me, and how I pray,

Yet you lie sweating on the hill from morn,

Or linger at the crossways with all comers,
