King Skule.

I come.

The Townsmen.

And the church-robber must come too![too!]

King Skule.

Ay, the church-robber shall come too. [Goes over to Peter.] My son, are you ready?

Peter.

Ay, father, I am ready.

King Skule.

[Looks upwards.] O God, I am a poor man, I have but my life to give; but take that, and keep watch over Håkon’s great king’s-thought.—See now, give me your hand.
