Yes, truly.

TSUNEYO.

Then I am surely he.

Tell your lord that I obey.

ATTENDANT.

I will do so.

TSUNEYO.

CHORUS.

He was led to where on a great daïs
All the warriors of this levy were assembled
Like a bright bevy of stars.
Row on row they were ranged,

Swift scornful glances, fingers pointed
And the noise of laughter met his entering.
