Agmar:
Enough. Let it be enough that these have condescended
to this bestial and human habit.

Illanaun: {to Akmos}
And yet he is not unlike a beggar whom I saw not so
long since.

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.

Illanaun:
I do but wish to prove his divinity. I will fetch the
Woldery wine. {Exit}

Akmos:
He will not drink. Yet if he does, then he will not
overwhelm us. Let us offer him the wine.

{Reenter Illanaun with a goblet.}

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!
