was in there and asked him to open up. He answered: “What a1
45 are you going to do here? You have brought things to an
evil end, and because of that same thing you shall suffer
shame, if you do not let me live in my misery.” Full of care,
48 his father went away with great sadness. Now his mother
came and spoke: “My sweet son, give up your sorrowful heart
and let your mother see you, my dearest delight.” “Listen,
61 you most foolish mother,” Partalopi said, “go away and
don’t let me hear you, because I will not yield to your per-
suasion, and you have nothing to do here.” She went away
54 with sorrow and grief. Then the bishop, his uncle, came and
shouted vehemently at the door and spoke: “Give up your
foolishness and do not live longer as an idiot [changeling].”
57 Partalopi answered: “You are unworthy of my answers ex-
cept for evil ones, and go away at once, you evil dog. You
have brought me to all that evil which I have felt on myself,

Partalopi to open the door. But he asked the king, his father, B1
to go away and said he had gotten all his sorrow from him
and said he would suffer death there in his quarters. Now
the king went away, but then the queen herself, his mother
—Partalopi’s—came there with great wailing and loud
weeping. She asked him now with many fair words that he
should give up this great sorrow of his. Partalopi answered
her in the same way as the king, his father, and asked her
to go away immediately. After that the bishop, his uncle,
came there and asked him with many fair words to give
up this severe and great sorrow. But Partalopi said he
