[Softly to Dagfinn.] He must be found; set a watch on all the churches in the town.
Dagfinn.
And when he is found, he must straightway be slain.
Håkon.
[Softly.] Slain? Dagfinn, Dagfinn, how heavy a deed it seems!
Dagfinn.

Håkon.
And all men in the land will call for his death. [Turns to Gregorius Jonsson and says, unheard by the others.] Go; you were once his friend; seek him out and prevail on him to fly the land.
Gregorius.
