Scene: The East




The First Act

{Outside a city wall. Three beggars are seated upon the
ground.}

Oogno:
These days are bad for beggary.

Thahn:
They are bad.

Ulf: {an older beggar but not gray}
Some evil has befallen the rich ones of this city.
They take no joy any longer in benevolence, but are
become sour and miserly at heart. Alas for them! I
sometimes sigh for them when I think of this.

Oogno:
Alas for them! A miserly heart must be a sore
affliction.

Thahn:
A sore affliction indeed, and bad for our calling.
