page 118 of 194 (60%)

Gustaf. Steady!--You have married in a hurry?

Olof. I have.

Gustaf. You are under the ban?

Olof. I am.

Gustaf. And still as brave as ever! If you were sent to the
gallows as a rebel with the rest, what would you say then?

Olof. I should regret not being permitted to finish my task, but
I should thank the Lord for having been allowed to do what I have
done.

Gustaf. That's good! Would you dare to go up to that old owl's-nest
Upsala and tell its learned men that the Pope is not God and that
he has nothing to do with Sweden?

Olof. Only that?

Gustaf. Will you tell them that the only word of God is the
Bible?

Olof. Must that be all?

Gustaf. You are not to mention the name of Luther!

Olof (after some hesitation). Then I will not go.
