THAHN When I drink Woldery wine I am afraid of nothing. THIEF They are making a pleasant banquet ready for us; they are killing lambs, and girls are there with fruits, and there is to be much Woldery wine. MLAN Never had beggars such a time. AGMAR Do any doubt us now? THIEF I do not know. MLAN When will the banquet be? THIEF When the stars come out. OOGNO Ah. It is sunset already.
ALL O ancient deity, partake, partake. AGMAR Enough. Let it be enough that these have condescended to this bestial and human habit. OORANDER But beggars eat. ILLANAUN Now I never knew a beggar yet who would refuse a bowl of Woldery wine. AKMOS This is no beggar. ILLANAUN Nevertheless let us offer him a bowl of Woldery wine. AKMOS You do wrong to doubt him.
OOGNO We are saved now. THAHN Aye, we are saved. AGMAR We are saved, but I know not how. OOGNO Never had beggars such a time. THIEF I will go out and watch. ULF Yet I have a fear. OOGNO A fear? Why, we are saved. ULF Last night I dreamed. OOGNO What was your dream? ULF It was nothing. I dreamed that I was thirsty and one gave me Woldery wine; yet there was a fear in my dream.
FIRST BEGGAR He has spilt it. SECOND BEGGAR He has spilt it. AGMAR It is a fitting libation. Our anger is somewhat appeased. ANOTHER BEGGAR But it was Woldery! AGMAR Trouble us not now. It is the hour at which the gods are accustomed to speak to the gods in the language of the gods, and if Man heard us he would guess the futility of his destiny, which were not well for Man. Begone! Begone!
The Thief is absent. MLAN Never had beggars such a time. OOGNO Ah, the fruits and tender lamb! THAHN The Woldery wine! SLAG It was better to see my Master's wise devices than to have fruit and lamb and Woldery wine. MLAN Ah, when they spied on him to see if he would eat when they went away! OOGNO When they questioned him concerning the gods and Man!
ILLANAUN I do but wish to prove his divinity. I will fetch the Woldery wine. AKMOS He will not drink. Yet if he does, then he will not overwhelm us. Let us offer him the wine. FIRST BEGGAR It is Woldery wine! SECOND BEGGAR It is Woldery! THIRD BEGGAR A goblet of Woldery wine! FOURTH BEGGAR O blessed day! MLAN O happy times! SLAG O my wise Master! Illanaun gives it to Agmar.
