He answers that the place is occupied

  By dame and knight already housed, who, met

  About the fire, in that chill evening-tide,

  Wait till their supper be before them set.

  To him that maid: "The board is not supplied,

  I deem, for them, unless the meal be eat.

  Now, say I wait their coming." (she pursues,)

  Who know and will observe your castle's use."
