They said who saw it with their own eyes, that oft he turned him, as if it were a worm! At length he gan to awake, then gan he to quake, and these words said Merlin the prophet: "Walaway! Walaway! in this worlds-realm, much is the sorrow that is come to the land! Where art thou, Uther? Set before me here, and I will say to thee of sorrows enow.
Call them your cooks, they're skill'd in dressing food To nourish weak, and strong, and cleanse the blood: They've milk for babes, strong meat for men of age; Food fit for who are simple, who are sage, When the great pot goes on, as oft it doth, They put not coloquintida in broth, As do those younglings, fondlings of their skill, Who make not what's so apt to cure as kill.

"If one oft' witch dwarfs wud come from t' lane moors to-night, and gif hur money, to go out, OUT, I say, out, lad, where t' sun shines, and t' heath grows, and t' ladies walk in silken gownds, and God stays all t' time, where t'man lives that talked to us to-night, Hugh knows, Hugh could walk there like a king!"
