[Throwing himself at Seanchan’s feet.]

Why did you take me from my father’s fields?

If you would leave me now, what shall I love?

Where shall I go, what shall I set my hand to?

And why have you put music in my ears

If you would send me to the clattering houses?

I will throw down the trumpet and the harp,

For how could I sing verses or make music

With none to praise me and a broken heart?

Seanchan.
