The Young King of the Black Isles (3)

" The queen returned from the bath, we supped together, and she presented me with a cup full of such liquid as I was accustomed to drink ; but instead of putting it to my mouth, I went to a window that was open, threw out the water so quickly that she did not perceive it, and returned.
" Soon after, believing that I was asleep, she arose with so little precaution, that she whispered loud enough for me to hear her distinctly, ' Sleep on, and may you never wake again ! ' and so saying, she dressed herself, and went out of the chamber.
