when they twain should be made one
flesh.
Then followed the feasting.
After that, was the door cleared, and
David, with Walter and Robert, did make
music with the stringed instruments and
horns before the people; and the young
men and maidens danced for JOY, saying,
"As II is with Joseph and Anna, 30 may
II be with US before the year ia ended"
10 their hearts and feet we're light at the
marriage feast in the camp Of the Glib

young men and the maidens, grew bitter
at heart. and 'lOnged for a scrap" as II

c%Ountenance regarded them.
Then spake he TO Thomas, whose z

"NOt 80" urgeth he Of the kitchen, 81
like II not and / fain would stop his

Then said Thomas, holding by the gar.

Then, he of the kitchen, waxed more
wroth than before and plucked his gar
ment from the hands OF Thomas, and
started forth.
Then, Thomas, being yexed that his
counsel prevailed not, bethOught himself

when he had come to the place where
David. with Walter and Robert we're, he
cried out, Say, thou musicianl Why

Then answered David, being astonished
at his words, for he knew him not at all,

Then the anger Of the cook waxed hot
and he cried in a loud voice: Thou

Then answered David, as he reached
forth his hand as is the manner OF his
cOuntrymen ut such salutatiOn: "ThOu

rested for a time on the floor among The
dancers, but that he was persuaded TO 70,

but CRASHED his teeth and sharpened hi

And II was told TO David: "KnOwes

But David answered and. said: "NO

"But from his hiding place cometh tn
