See, see, our honored hostess!
The love that follows us sometime is our trouble, Which still we thank as love. Herein I teach you How you shall bid God 'ild us for your pains, And thank us for your trouble. If these are the lines in question, the irony can be found in "honored" hostess.... most hostesses were completely discombobulated by royal visits.... their homes became places of utter chaos. You can also see that Duncan expects thanks for the honor..... irony at its best.Source(s)
