Now I am calm, now I am happy: I am at the feet of David, who has brought joy to mankind.

DAVID.

Irresolutely.

But you have come too late, woman. I have already given away everything I had, and I have nothing left.

ANATHEMA.

Yes. We have distributed all the money. Go home, woman,—we have nothing left. We feel sorry for you, but you are too late. Do you understand? You are too late,—only this morning we gave away the last penny.

DAVID.

Don't be so cruel, Nullius.

ANATHEMA.

But it is the truth, David.
