The young are always in danger; they go about among swords. He will die too and the great King and I. In a few days we will be buried.
King Karnos:
Let us all listen; we cannot all die in a few days' time.
Tharmia:
I hear it clearly.
Queen:
Women are blossoms in the hand of Death. They are often close to Death.
She will die too.
All:
I hear it. I hear it. And I. And I. And I. It is only a man with a lute.
