Sleep! In sleeping, you the crown have

Placed upon your Emperor’s brow!

Victory on his Person’s basis

Has Peer Gynt this night achieved.

SCENE EIGHTH.

A caravan route. The oasis is seen far off in the background.

Peer Gynt comes galloping across the desert, on his white horse, with Anitra before him on his saddle-bow.

Anitra.

Let be, or I’ll bite you!

Peer.
