A Soldier. I killed a king.
A Crowned Shadow. He killed me while I slept.
The Shadows. You shall not pass until you tell our story!
A Girl dressed as a Boy. I lived in a wood and laughed. Sing you my laughter When the sun shone!
Shakespeare. I’ll sing it. Singing I go, What shall I find after the song is over? What shall I find after the way is clear?
An Old Man, a Jew. Gold and gold and gold—
A Clown. And a grave untended—
A Man in Black. Heartbreak—
Two Cousins. A friend or two—
A Roman with Laurels. Oh, sing my story Before I had half-way climbed to the nearest star My ladder broke.
