my lord, he who hath eaten of all these dishes how can he be

hungry?" Then he considered and said to himself, "I will do that

called out "Bring me the wine;" and, moving his hands in the air,

wont to drink wine some twenty years old." "Knock then at this

door,"[FN#692] quoth the host "for thou canst not drink of aught

better." "By thy kindness," said my brother, motioning with his

hand as though he were drinking. "Health and joy to thee,"

exclaimed the house master and feigned to fill a cup and drink it

off; then he handed another to my brother who quaffed it and made

as if he were drunken.
