NIX. I will return to show him.
[_Nix bows to the Queen and goes. The_ KING _and_ PRINCE _come from the
castle._]
QUEEN. 'Tis a pleasant day to walk, dear King.
KING. Oh, 'tis very, very pleasant.
[_Enter_ Nix _with a fishing-net. He throws out the net and draws it
in._]
QUEEN. Why, look you what that foolish man is doing!
KING. He throws out his net and draws it in! He acts just as if he were
fishing.
QUEEN. Let's ask what he is doing.
KING. Come here, you foolish fellow! Come here, I say!
(NIX _comes to the King, but goes on with his fishing._)
Now what are you doing, sir?
[Illustration]
NIX. I am fishing, fishing, fishing.
KING. How can you fish where is no water?
NIX. Fish can be found on land if colts belong to oxen.
KING. What is that, sir?
NIX. If colts belong to oxen, then fish should swim in dust.
KING. Well, well, that may be true! What do you think, dear Queen?
QUEEN. I think with you--it may be true.
NIX (_fishing_). If colts belong to oxen, then I will always fish in
dust.
KING. Well, well, I think you may be right, sir!
(_Pause. The King thinks deeply._)
Yes, I am now sure that you are right, sir. Go get your colt from Farmer
Knave. Go with him, Prince, and see to it. Now come, dear Queen, we'll
walk about together, for 'tis a very pleasant day, 'tis very, very
pleasant.
