Ohohohoo! Nay Antonio you foolish merchant, I only ask for a pound of fresh meat, perhaps some beef or mutton. See that it is the freshest meat you can find close to the animals heart, and that it is butchered with skill.

King James had a short attn span, he would watch plays in 2 sittings. The trial scene is rather long so anyone could fall asleep than. Not to mention a tongue only weighs 2 oz, so why a pound?
