LILITH

Amak, you’ll break your father’s sleep:

Come here and tell me what those spices are

This strange man bakes our cakes with.

It makes the brain wild. Be still, Amak:

I’ll give you the strange man your father brought,

And he will run with you upon his back to-day.

Come from your father or you’ll get no cake;

He’s been a long journey.

Bring me the pictured book he brought for you.

What! Already cut to pieces?

Put away that horn from your father’s ear,

And stay that horrid noise: come, Amak.

[_Amak runs to his mother with a jade amulet, shouting._]
