How my empty guts cry out! My wounds ache,

Would they would bleed again, that I might get

Something to quench my thirst!

Franville. O Lamure, the happiness my dogs had

When I kept house at home! They had a storehouse,

A storehouse of most blessed bones and crusts.

Happy crusts! Oh, how sharp hunger pinches me!

Lamure. How now, what news?

Morillar. Hast any meat yet?

Franville. Not a bit that I can see.
