But you will pay the sum, friend. You will pay!--

HANS, AXEL, AND CROWD
Come, there's an honest fellow. Ay, now, pay!
--There's a good friend.--And would I had the same.
--One thousand guilders?
--No, too much.
--No, no.

KURT
Pay jugglers?--With a rope apiece!

JACOBUS
Why--so--

PIPER
They are my friends; and they shall share with me.
'T is time that Hamelin reckoned us for men;
--Hath ever dealt with us as we were vermin.
Now have I rid you of the other sort--
Right you that score!--

KURT
These outcasts!

PIPER
[hotly]
Say you so?
Michael, my man! Which of you here will try
With glass or fire, with him?
