Tattered cloak,[103]
KOMACHI.
Broken hat ...
CHORUS.
She cannot hide her face from our eyes;
And how her limbs
KOMACHI.
From rain and dew, hoar-frost and snow?
CHORUS (speaking for KOMACHI while she mimes the actions they describe).
Not rags enough to wipe the tears from my eyes!
Now, wandering along the roads
I beg an alms of those that pass.
And when they will not give,
An evil rage, a very madness possesses me.
My voice changes.
Oh terrible!
