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. (Re-enter 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! SLAG O my wise Master! (All the Beggars stretch out their hands, including Agmar. Illanaun gives it to Agmar. Agmar takes it solemnly, and very carefully pours it upon the ground.) FIRST BEGGAR He has spilt it. SECOND BEGGAR He has spilt it. (Agmar sniffs the fumes.) AGMAR It is a fitting libation. Our anger is somewhat appeased. |
