You see I am poor, and sick, and will not see
That I would be alone; but to your business!
What brings you here?
Iden.Why, what should bring me here?
Wer. I know not, though I think that I could guess
That which will send you hence.
Jos. (aside).Patience, dear Werner!
Iden. You don't know what has happened, then?
Jos.How should we?
Iden. The river has o'erflowed.
