Excerpt from The Dragon: A Wonder Play in Three Acts

Scene: A room in the King's house at Burren. Large window at back with deep window seat. Doors right and left. A small table and some chairs.

Dall Glic: (Coming in with tray, which he puts on table. Goes back to door.) You can come in, King. There is no one here.

King: (Coming in.) That's very good. I was in dread the Queen might be in it.

Dall Glic: It is a good thought I had bringing it in here, and she gone to give learning to the Princess. She is not likely to come this side. It would be a great pity to annoy her.

King: (Hastily swallowing a mouthful.) Look out now the door and keep a good watch. The time she will draw down upon me is when I am eating my little bite.

Dall Glic: I'll do that.
