One never knows. She’s a strange girl, I...

One never knows.

She’s a strange girl, I’ve heard, and does odd things!

Come, bustle there!

For Gama place the richest robes we own –

For Gama place the coarsest prison dress –

For Gama let our best spare bed be aired –

For Gama let our deepest dungeon yawn –

For Gama lay the costliest banquet out –

For Gama place cold water and dry bread!

For as King Gama brings the Princess here,

Or brings her not, so shall King Gama have

Much more than everything – much less than nothing!
