Next day all the fairies came with the pole and mirror, each carrying
a harebell in her left-hand, and a blue cup of burning perfume in her
right, and they formed up as before, the lad walking beside the queen.
They marched round and repeated the old words, when the queen stopped
before the mirror, and said:
“What do you see?”
“I see, I see, the mirror tells me,
It is an old plate-cupboard that I see.”
A second time they went round, and the question, was repeated.
“I see, I see, the mirror tells me,
The back is turned to me.”
