ill do that....

_Nurse_: To hear of him would delight me!

_Manus_: It is I that can tell you....

_Nurse_: It is himself should be a grand king!

_Manus_: Listen till you hear!...

_Nurse_: His father was good and his mother was
good, and it's likely, himself will be the best of all!

_Manus_: Be quiet now and hearken!...

_Nurse_: I remember well the first day I saw him
in the cradle, two and a score of years back! Oh,
it is glad, and very glad, I'll be to get word of him!

_Manus_: He is come to sensible years....

_Nurse_: A golden cradle it was and it standing
on four golden balls the very round of the sun!

_Manus_: He is out of his cradle now. _(Shakes
her shoulder.)_ Let you hearken! He is in need
of your help.

_Nurse_: He'll get it, he'll get it. I doted down
on that child! The best to laugh and to roar!

_Manus: (Putting hand on her mouth.)_ Will
you be silent, you hag of a nurse? Can't you see
that I myself am Manus, the new King of Sorcha?

_Nurse: (Starting back.)_ Do you say that?
And how's every bit of you? Sure I'd know you
in any place. Stand back till I'll get the full of
my eyes of you! Like the father you are, and you
need never be sorry to be that! Well, I said to
myself and you looking in at the window, I would
not believe but there's some drop of king's blood
in that lad!

_Manus_: That was not what you said to me!

_Nurse_: And wasn't the journey long on you
from Sorcha, that is at the rising of the sun? Is
it your foot-soldiers and your bullies you brought
with you, or did you come with your hound and
your deer-hound and with your horn?

_Manus_: There was no one knew of my journey.
I came bare alone. I threw a shell in the sea and
made a boat of it, and took the track of the wild
duck across the mountains of the waves.

_Nurse_: And where in the world wide did you
get that dress of a cook?

_Manus_: It was at a tailor's place near Oughtmana.
There was no one in the house but the mother. I
left my own clothes in her charge and my purse
of gold; I brought nothing but my own blue
sword. _(Throws open blouse and shows it.)_ She gave
me this suit, where a cook from this house had
thrown it down in payment for a drink of milk.
I have no mind any person should know I am a king.
I am letting on to be a cook.

_Nurse_: I would sooner you to come as a champion
seeking battle, or a horseman that had gone astray,
or so far as a poet making praises or curses according
