Old man: "Here, my other daughter. Take her and she will make you a much better wife. She is smarter than her sister and much, much more beautiful."
(Angry) Hero: "You give me a turn up for/ turnip for..." (What could turn up mean here?) Probably turnip since this is typically a round white thing, not particularly attractive, and certainly not lovely like a flower or blossom.
(The old man cuts him short) "This one is a queen among women.Look, look! Have you ever seen eyes like that...so full of love for you? See the quiteness whiteness of her skin , so smooth as a young dove's. Or she will grow you in some rear/ real blossom/ she is the quite mess? of her skin and so smooth as a young dove's. Or she will grow you in some rear/ real blossom.She will grow on you?
Hero: "She will grow into a thorn bush." |
