I forsook the paths all my dear ones tread?

Peer.

And know you the compact? Outside the forest

Whoever may meet me may seize me at will.

Solveig.

I ran upon snow-shoes; I asked my way on;

They said “Whither go you?” I answered, “I go home.”

Peer.

Away, away then with nails and planks!

No need now for bars against hobgoblin-thoughts.
