TRAVELLER.
I am a man who lives in the Capital. Maybe because of some great wrong I did in a former life ... I have fallen into trouble and cannot go on living here.
I have a friend in the East country. Perhaps he would help me. I will take my wife and child and go at once to the ends of the East.
(He travels to the East, singing as he goes a song about the places through which he passes.)
We are come to the Inn. (Knocks at the door.) We are travellers. Pray give us shelter.
INNKEEPER.
