Note 3 — The Frog in the Queen’s Nose
H. (Henry) Parker translation
“When to plough I went away, snapped the wooden yoke in twain;
When the yoke in pieces broke, slowly home I come again;
When I to the house returned, I upon the bed remain;
When upon the bed I lay, felt my rear a burning pain;
When my hinder part I burned, ’neath the bed I search amain;
When beneath the bed I look, hidden milk-rice there had lain.
As I ate that rice, I ween these afflictions on me rain.
Having this affliction seen, jump out, O Froggy-pawn!”3
